Toy 2.0 Idea Lab

KID Museum will be transformed into an Idea Lab for toy making on April 25, to kick off Toy 2.0 Challenge — our toy design contest for kids.

KID Museum and the creators of HEXBUGS are looking for ideas for the next hot toy – your design could end up in stores across the country! The Toy 2.0 Challenge (for ages 10 - 18) kicks off on April 25 from 12pm - 5pm with Toy 2.0 Idea Lab. Work with inventors and artists, learn to use special equipment like 3D printers, and experiment with different tools and materials. Meet Bob Mimlitch, co-founder of the company that makes HEXBUGS, and watch a VEX IQ Robotics Expo. Kids 10 - 18 who attend the Idea Lab are eligible to win a new Printrbot 3D printer!
