Hamilton Museum of Steam & Technology presents Mucus Mayhem and More! S.T.E.A.M. Saturdays Workshop

Hamilton, ON – The Hamilton Museum of Steam & Technology at 900 Woodward Avenue, is excited to present Mucus Mayhem and More! on October 26 from 10 am to 12 noon. Tickets are available online for $25 per child and pre-registration is required. This is a supervised drop-off kids’ workshop although parents are welcome to stay if they choose.

Just in time for Halloween, the museum is getting into the creepy crawly spirit and investigating the gross side of being human. Kids (ages 7 through 12) will create realistic scabs and blood, take part in some ooey-gooey experiments, and learn about the dangers of working in a Victorian Pumphouse. This workshop incorporates various hands-on and interactive activities with gross stuff to take home!
