Calling all little designers! Create your perfect sci-fi outfit and star in your own fashion show.

Stata Center

MIT MAD at the Cambridge Science Festival

This year, for its annual "Power of Design" event, MIT MAD explores how design transforms learning through four workshops as part of the Cambridge Science Festival.

Calling all little designers! Create your perfect sci-fi outfit and star in your own fashion show. In this 1.5 hour workshop run by Minni in collaboration with MIT MAD, children (K–2) will be taken through the entire design process to create and model their ideal fashion wearable around a sci-fi theme. From mood boards to styling, participants will explore colors and materials to assemble imaginative futuristic fashion. The event will conclude with a sidewalk fashion show, where kids can showcase their creations (participation is optional). A fun activity for kids and their parents or caregivers, and you’ll get to keep your unique fashion wearable!

<h4>AUDIENCE</h4>Children (K–2) must be accompanied by an adult who will assist with the creation process.Space is limited to 30 children and their accompanying caregivers. MINNI WAIVER Children under 18 are REQUIRED to have their <a href="https://minni.space/waiver" title="https://minni.space/waiver" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">waivers</a> signed and initialed by a parent or legal guardian (preferably the one accompanying them to the workshop) prior to participating in this activity.
