Maker Play

The 2026 Maker Play, held at the National Science Museum, is a participatory festival where you learn the principles of science and develop creativity and imagination through the process of making and experiencing it yourself. This is an event where you can experience maker culture in an easy and fun way through about 50 experience booths in various fields such as creative crafts, robots, coding, and AI. It is also a festival where you can participate in a marionette performance with homemade puppets and enjoy a race where you build cars and sailboats using various materials and race them. It is a science and culture festival where the whole family can share the joy of science and creation, with an experience space for go-karts and swing cars that families can make together.
