We’ve opened another session on Thursday morning. Join us for a fun, creative, and deliciously chaotic holiday tradition! At LabSpace, we always remind our makers: we don’t eat in the lab, which means this workshop is 100% about the fun of building, designing, and testing your architectural limits. This isn’t about creating a Pinterest-perfect showpiece—it’s process-art and messy structural engineering at its finest! Kids will use graham crackers as building blocks, royal icing as “mortar,” and a mountain of candies and cereals to decorate their one-of-a-kind holiday creations. They get all the hands-on building fun, and you get the finished masterpiece without the sticky kitchen clean-up! Note for Families: *This is a family-led, team-building activity! LabSpace staff will be floating around to keep supplies stocked, offer quick structural tips, and keep things tidy, but parents and kids will work together at their own pace to design and build. * Because royal icing engineering gets sticky and roof collapses are part of the learning process, adults act as hands-on team captains! Be sure to take a quick photo of your creation in the lab before it makes the trek home! 1 Builder: $8 2 Builders: $15 3 Builders: $20 (Family Cap) (Adults are free team captains and structural supporters!) 🍬 Help Us Stock the Candy Lab! Have leftover Halloween candy or extra holiday sweets in your cupboard? Drop them off at LabSpace before the event to help fuel our young engineers’ designs! We’d love to put your stale graham crackers into the mix too! You can bring them in during any of our classes during the semester.
