Wonder Workshop: Out of this World Challenge

Take young aspiring astronauts on an interplanetary journey without leaving Midtown. Head over to the Northern District Library for a special space-themed workshop where children ages 6 to 10 can learn about the red planet, explore the fundamentals of space travel, and put their creative problem-solving skills to the test by designing their very own custom spacecraft. ## What to Expect Participants will dive into hands-on brainstorming, tackling simulated challenges they might face on an interstellar journey. It’s an engaging way to spark an interest in science, engineering, and creative design in a collaborative, supportive environment. Plus, young creators will have the chance to enter a prize draw to win an awesome book to take home. ## Practical Details This free event takes place on August 7, 2026, from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM at the Northern District branch, conveniently located at 40 Orchard View Boulevard just steps from Yonge and Eglinton. Because space is limited and these library youth workshops fill up fast, advance registration is strongly recommended. Make an afternoon of it in Midtown by grabbing a treat at a nearby bakery along Yonge Street before heading in for a fun-filled hour and a half of cosmic exploration.
