What’s New?

We know you’re thinking: What the heck is a charrette?

Hey, 9-11 year olds!  Have you been wondering about Animaker Camp?  Let me give you the inside scoop. This week you get to make your OWN movies from start to finish. You will write the story and choose what characters play the parts. Then you actually get to CREATE the actors, costumes, props, and sets from scratch. You don’t have a movie making background, you say? No worries! Throughout the week we will learn different ways to plan, design, and film your vision. I know many of you love looking at and posting videos on Snapchat and Instagram. The skills we learn in camp can be used in any type of movie, even a Snapchat story!  I’m excited to teach and learn with you. Hurry up, July 17th!

What an incredible weekend we just had!

Not only did we welcome our 500,000th guest last week, we also had a great week of creativity all around the museum (and country!).  Let us share...

Thanks a (half of a) million Northwest Arkansas!  A little more than 21 months ago, the Scott Family Amazeum opened its doors after a community-wide effort lasting over a decade.  This week, years ahead of schedule, we are proud and honored to welcome our 500,000th guest through our doors.  

We had so much fun during our Spring Break Camp, exploring the fun world of the circus! Take a look at what our campers accomplished during the week. A big thanks to our volunteers from BIC Corporation and to BIC for presenting our camps this year. We're looking forward to a great summer full of learning, too. Learn more about Summer Camps here. 

Thanks to all of the amazing guests who made Spring Break 2017 so wonderful! Here's a peek at some of the fun we had together, including our awesome spring break camp, Under the Big Top, which was made possible by BIC Corporation.

OK, OK, the cat's *almost* out of the bag - Northwest Arkansas is increasingly becoming a maker haven.

Creativity. Curiosity. Community.
