Made in the USA (Made in the United States) consists of an activity creación for families in which parents can accompany their children in sessions of creación, strengthening skills and experience through the American Space community in Madrid. In each session, families engage in sensory STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) activities and art experiments with their children, led by a creador expert in the field. The main objective of the activity is to provide the necessary tools so that families can practice creation activities together at home, developing critical thinking skills through creative projects.
