MAKING STUFF at the Charles River Museum of Industry & Innovation

NOVA is collaborating with 75 sites nationally to provide the material and media to “make stuff” colder, wilder, safer and faster through a series of projects that include hands-on activities and design challenges based on the four themes from MAKING STUFF.

We are offering MAKING STUFF programming at CRMII on two different dates with two sessions on each date.

Please pre-register for the specific session you plan to attend.

Participants who are pre-registered get free admission to the museum for this event so save your space today!

This event is open for all ages, though kids who are 12+ may get more enjoyment out of the activity.

Driving Directions
Nearby: In Waltham center, look for the signs.

They are well-posted, but small and buff-colored.

From the North or South: From Interstate 95/Route 128, take exit 26 (Route 20 East) for 1.6 miles. At Waltham Common, turn right onto Moody St. Cross the river, turn left onto Pine St, and left onto Cooper St into the Embassy Theater parking lot. Purchase a ticket (2 hours or more) from one of the two ticket machines, and place the ticket on your dashboard (free on Sundays and holidays). Then follow the signs and cross the footbridge. The museum entrance is below the smokestack.

We do not have handicapped parking, but arrangements can be made.
