The Real Tool Maker Space at the Noble Center is a larger version of the beloved space at the Children’s Museum. Kids and families learn to use tools, experiment with different types of making, and think creatively in PlayHouse Maker Workshops. This space is available by program users only and requires advanced registration.

PlayHouse Maker Programs are:

  • Open-ended and process-based. We do not tell children what to make; figuring out what to make is part of the learning process. We are teaching children to identify problems as well as solve them.
  • Tool-based. We teach children how to use tools safely, and how to select the best tool for the job. This helps children learn that there are a wide range of tools available, and how to use tools to their full advantage.
  • Rooted in Exploration. Making is a way to identify and address changes children want to see in designed world. This type of making prepares children to become transformers of their community as adults.

Coming in 2024, the Noble Center will be home to the African American Hall of Fame. Formerly at Proctor Recreation Center, we’re happy to have this showcased at the Noble Center. This museum features artwork & history exhibits, including artifacts, showcasing achievements by African Americans.
