Fashion design and how you dress is an excellent way to express yourself! Come learn about fashion designer Alok and celebrate the things you’re proud of as you create a unique statement necklace!
Makerspace Workshop: Rainbow Quest
Why do we use rainbows to celebrate Pride? Learn about the history of the Pride Flag, first designed by Gilbert Baker under the request of Harvey Milk, and explore different ways to make rainbows using science!
Meet Squiggles!
Our friend and mascot Squiggles will be roaming the Museum from 12 to 4 PM.
