MakerSpace

The Lederman Science Center will be closed on Monday, September 1st for the holiday. We will resume regular hours on Tuesday, September 2nd.

The Pine Street gate at the Batavia site will be closed to outbound traffic beginning Tuesday, Sept. 2. Members of the public will still be able to enter Fermilab through the Pine Street gate but must exit via the Batavia Road gate. The closure to outbound traffic is expected to be in effect until Sept.10. Fermilab’s Batavia site is open to the public with proper identification.

Join us to get hands-on with STEM! Our MakerSpace provides learners with an opportunity to explore STEM fields through making, experimenting, and play. MakerSpace programs encourage students to ask questions, get creative, and develop the 21st-century skills needed to join the next generation of STEM professionals.
