Doohickey! is an immersive makerspace experience, where audience members are invited to join the intergalactic resistance group Caomei in their struggle against shadowy land developers whose greed is inflicting untold damage to the world.

Armed with the support of Caomei and your fellow makers (and maybe some hot glue!), you'll use recycled materials to craft gadgets that do whatever you can imagine. The gang is here in Pittsburgh for the very first time and you're invited. Come hack into the power of play and unleash your creativity!
