Event Details

Dots and dashes come to life at CHRS! Join us for a fun, hands-on activity where young visitors will learn the basics of Morse code, which is one of the earliest forms of electronic communication, and put that knowledge to work by creating a personalized Morse code keychain using beads.

This drop-in workshop is designed especially for kids and teens and blends history, creativity, and simple problem-solving in an engaging, age-appropriate way. No prior experience is needed, and participants can stop by anytime during the two-hour window.

Come explore, create, and take home a coded keepsake!

Sound Bites is designed for kids and their grown-ups to enjoy together.  Please plan to stay and participate alongside your child during the event!

Disclaimer: Please double check event information with the event organizer as events can be canceled, details can change after they are added to our calendar, and errors do occur.
