Join Boston Children’s Museum for a week of heroic programs, activities, fun, and playful discoveries as we celebrate everyone’s favorite heroes! Visit Superhero Headquarters and test your skills to see if you have what it takes to become an honorary superhero. Can you make it through the agility obstacle course or solve different logic puzzles?
Every superhero needs a great costume and accessories. Create your own superhero mask, and create a sketch of what your costume would be as a superhero. Help discover new matter and materials, and program robots with the help of our special agents. On Saturday, September 16 and Sunday, September 17 some of your favorite heroes will visit the Museum to meet our heroes in training.

Boston Children’s Museum offers joyful STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) learning experiences for children and families every day of the year. But, during Mass STEM Week, we kick the celebration into high gear with CreatedBy by giving access to our New England STEAM partners to our visitors.
CreatedBy Festival (formerly the Boston Mini Maker Faire), produced by Boston Children’s Museum, is an annual showcase and festival of ingenuity, imagination, and cross-disciplinary creativity. CreatedBy is an all-ages event that brings together artists, inventors, fabricators, educators, local makers, and STEAM professionals/organizations that engage our visitors with hands-on activities.
