Everyone is a scientist at heart. In the Inventor's Club you will explore the exciting world of science and invention. You will discover how things work through hands-on learning and apply your experiences to brainstorm, design, and build your own invention to take home.  

Create your very own invention in a workshop specially designed with all the materials, tools and equipment necessary, for almost any project. 

Work in an hands-on, inquiry-based learning environment.

Meet other people interested in inventing, from beginners to highly advanced individuals.

Great resources to help you, including The Bakken’s highly trained staff and mentors.
