- **Event Name**: MakerMinds at LVCM: A Small-Group Design & Problem-Solving Series for Ages 8–12
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 10 Jun, 2026 at 05:30 pm – Wed, 10 Jun, 2026 at 07:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: 🚀 MakerMinds is LVCM’s flagship learning series for older kids who are ready to think deeper, work collaboratively, and tackle real-world challenges.

This is not a drop-in program or a camp.

MakerMinds is a multi-session, small-group experience where kids work in teams to design, test, and improve solutions to complex problems. Participants learn that mistakes are part of the process, ideas improve through testing, and teamwork matters.

🌙 Current Series: MakerMinds – Lunar Mission Systems

Inspired by NASA’s Artemis missions

In this MakerMinds series, participants become part of a mission design team preparing astronauts for life on the Moon.

🚀 Working in small teams, kids will explore questions such as:
🚀 Where is the safest place to land on the Moon?
🚀 How do astronauts stay protected inside their habitat?
🚀 How is power generated and stored?
🚀 How do astronauts move safely across the lunar surface?

Each team is responsible for one critical system astronauts depend on for survival. Over four weekly sessions, participants will design, build, test, and improve their ideas, learning how different systems must work together for a mission to succeed.

🧠 What Makes MakerMinds Different

✔ Designed specifically for ages 8–12
✔ Small groups (maximum 12 participants)
✔ Team-based problem solving
✔ Focus on systems thinking, not step-by-step crafts
✔ Emphasis on testing, redesign, and perseverance
