Program Description

Choose an Adventure: IWU’s IDEA Center (Makerspace)

We're celebrating the end of our Summer Reading Program with Choose an Adventure programs for teens! During Choose an Adventure, teens will get to pick one of five different programs in which they wish to participate. Participants may only sign up for one of the five programs. If there aren't seats available in your preferred program, check out the other options at the following links:

  1. Mass VR - Wednesday, August 3
  2. Red Raccoon Game Night - Saturday, August 6
  3. IDEA Center at IWU - Tuesday, August 9
  4. IWU eSports - Thursday, August 11
  5. Prairie Aviation Museum Tour - Saturday, August 13

In the IWU IDEA Center program, attendees will have an opportunity to ...

See firsthand the IDEA Center at Illinois Wesleyan University, also considered the innovation hub of the school. The center has multiple opportunities to practice entrepreneurial thinking and projects. As part of that, teens will participate in a project that that will include making custom buttons, engraving keychains, engraving coasters, making stickers, or creating custom embroidery and T-Shirt decals that they will take home at the end of the program. If you would like to make a T-Shirt, please bring with you a T-shirt in your size.

Thanks to our friends at the IWU IDEA Center for helping us with this event!
