The Children’s Museum of Houston’s Science Workshop at Edison Middle School is a hands-on, minds-on workshop that promotes learning through discovery. The guiding principles of the workshop are:
* Children need to be given freedom to develop their own path of inquiry
* Physical activity and the satisfaction of exploring, designing, and building things makes science more productive and fun
*Ignoring traditional boundaries between physical and biological sciences enables children to discovery the synergy between the sciences.

The goal of the Science Workshop is to provide children grades three through eight with opportunities to take part in facilitated and self-initiated science projects.
The Science Workshop occupies a 2,500 square foot space at Edison Middle School. This space is filled with workbenches, a variety of saws, drills and sanders, plants, books, and projects in various stages of completion.

| Children can utilize the exhibit space to examine and play with a variety of items as well as view projects developed by other children to help them find a path of exploration to pursue. They can tinker in the workshop area, where they learn to apply problem-solving, planning, and inquiry skills as they develop and explore their own self-initiated projects. |
