November 11, 2015
Watch the Lowell Macaroni Kid Facebook page and Holiday Event page for a gift certificate giveaway from Creation Station during our Holiday Giveaways!

Creation Station is a high-tech learning and exploration center ("Exploration Arcade") and makerspace located in Westford MA.



Whether you are 3 or 103, Creation Station will help you discover and explore Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math (STEAM) through interactive and open play in their Exploration Arcade, focused classes, and access to high-end design, prototype and development equipment in a safe, clean and professional environment. Whether you’re an artist, a maker, a dreamer or an entrepreneur, Creation Station has the toys, tools and equipment you need to pursue your dreams…or just to have fun!

Give the gift of STEAM with gift certificates for drop-in play in the Exploration Arcade or for classes or vacation programs.

In their Exploration Arcade, kids as young as 3 years old can come in and play with robots like Kibo from KinderLab Robotics (and soon Primo). Kids 5 to 8 years can explore Dash & Dot robots from Wonder Workshop, Cubelets from Modrobotics, Sphero and Ollie from Orbotix and Lego WeDo contraptions.  Kids 8 and above can learn to program and explore Lego Mindstorms EV3 Robots, VeX IQ Robots, Arduino and Raspberry Pi microcontrollers, Sparkfun Physical computing kit and the Sparkfun Inventor's kit. Creation Station's Exploration Arcade can be accessed via the drop-in, drop-off or monthly membership programs.



Creation Station also offers a Makerspace where kids 8 years and above can learn 3D Designing in Autodesk 123d Design or Tinker-cad using our Workstations. They can also learn how to use a CNC router or 3D Printer (MakerBot) to bring life to their creations. Kids 8 years and up and adults can also learn Inkscape to create a 2D image and then use it to cut patterns in wood, leather, acrylic and more using a Laser Cutter. The Makerspace can be accessed as a walk-in service or based on monthly memberships.



Creation Station offers classes and summer programs for kids in Arts, Robotics, Electronics, 3D Design and 3D Printing, Mod Creation for Minecraft, and Computer Programming.  Adults can take classes in Arts, Quadcopter UAV (Drone) flying and building. They also host numerous workshops for both kids and adults in Laser Cutting, Soldering / De-soldering, littleBits snap-on electronics, and Origami.
