Tuesday &#8211; Thursday there will be bins with materials and building challenges for the kiddos. Friday &#8211; Sunday, the space will be staffed and the <strong>kids will get the chance to work with real tools and building materials.<\/strong> We&#8217;ve also partnered with local unions to have them come in over the next 18-months to staff the Creative Constructors space to teach about their trade. Cool, right?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Susan Turner&#8217;s words, \u201cIt was important to have a hands-on maker space in this exhibit. We believe children learn from trying new things, failing and trying again,  By incorporating the maker space in the exhibit, we are able to better partner with our valued sponsors and offer richer learning experiences for the children during the entire 18-months the exhibit is open.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"659\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/nateandrachael.com\/terrehaute\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/01\/Screenshot_20200120-152108_Chrome.jpg?fit=193%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8025\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nateandrachael.com\/terrehaute\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/01\/Screenshot_20200120-152108_Chrome.jpg 659w, https:\/\/nateandrachael.com\/terrehaute\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/01\/Screenshot_20200120-152108_Chrome-193x300.jpg 193w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 659px) 100vw, 659px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another fun thing in the planning phase is our 10th anniversary in this building.
