The Works Ohio Center for History Art & Technology is launching a series of events for the winter and spring seasons, aimed at engaging families, adults, and individuals interested in interactive learning. The events will feature hands-on STEM activities, exhibits, and evening gatherings.
Starting January 10, "Think Outside the Brick," an exhibit in collaboration with the Ohio LEGO User Group, will open to the public. This gallery encourages creativity and engineering through building block displays and allows visitors to showcase their creations temporarily. The exhibit will run until March 31.
The museum also offers glass experiences such as "Make Your Own Glass Snowman," where participants can create handblown glass snowmen with guidance from professional artists in the Hot Glass Studio. Weekly programs like Creative Corner on Tuesdays and Curious Kids on Fridays provide learning opportunities for preschoolers and their caregivers.
Adults can attend "Cocktails by the Fire: Fire & Ice Masquerade" on February 7. This fundraising event supports The Works Glass Studio and includes cocktails served in hand-blown tumblers, gourmet bites, and live glassblowing demonstrations. Tickets are priced at $50 for members and $60 for non-members, with a VIP package available.
STEMfest is scheduled for February 28 and March 21, featuring activity stations from community partners throughout the museum. This event is free to the public. Another highlight is "Night at the Museum: Myths & Legends" on March 13, offering an adventure inspired by ancient myths through interactive stations across the facility. Admission details are available at attheworks.org.
