Take & Make Crafts

Do Science at HOME STEAM Kits

These take-home kits are to inspire families to work together at home through hands-on science! Each boxed kit on a theme (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) includes all you need to create three different projects. They are 1-per-family on a first-come basis. They are ideal for children in grades 3 through 8, and contain choking hazards, such as sewing needles, key rings, and other small parts. Each kit is FREE and is generously donated by the Kentucky Science Center through the efforts of the KY Department of Library and Archives.

Patrons: please note that by accepting a kit, you agree to answer a quick online survey about the content and materials to give KY Science Center your honest feedback. We thank you for your agreement and participation. High participation means we can apply for future grants and kits for this wonderful Scott County community. The Materials Master kit (available June 16th)  highlights material science through weaving, felting and embroidery. The Inventor's Lab kit (available July 5th) will include puppetry, automata and paper circuits Future kits will be announced via Facebook.  Video Tutorials are forthcoming to demonstrate all the kits and their contents.

Thank you for joining us this summer for our STEAM kit giveaways.  We hope you like them, and we'll see you at the library! Pick up kits at the Children's service desk.  No reservations. No Holds.

Manga Club isn't back in person quite yet, but we made up a bag full of crafts and other items based around some of your favorite series! July's theme is shonen series (Demon Slayer, My Hero Academia, and similar titles).  FREE.  Grab one at the children's information desk or call (502) 863-3566 to request a bag for curbside pick-up.
