Rigamajig

Save BIG on Rigamajig! ACM members get 10 percent off all Rigamajig products. Rigamajig was first designed and developed in 2011 by Cas Holman for Friends of the High Line in collaboration with early learning educators, woodworkers, and children. It was launched in New York City’s High Line Park as the “High Line Children’s Workyard Kit,” reflecting the park’s industrial history, simple, honest materiality, and the organization’s dedication to creating meaningful play opportunities for children and families. Rigamajig’s large-scale, loose parts wooden building kits are designed to spark STEAM/STEM learning, imagination, creativity, innovation, discovery, collaboration, and problem-solving skills through hands-on, experiential, and open-ended play. With no instructions or right-and-wrong answers, children are free to imagine what to make, and to figure out how to make it! Since its debut, Rigamajig products are now found in thousands of children’s and science museums, schools, community organizations, libraries, maker spaces, and homes worldwide. Questions?
