The Macomb Children’s Hands-On Museum’s Board of Directors is scheduled to vote Aug. 15 on a 10-year lease for a site in the former Art-O-Craft building on Macomb Place a few blocks east of Southbound Gratiot Avenue.

The museum proposal calls for interactive math and science exhibits and S.T.E.A.M.-based programs for children up to age 12.

In the meantime, museum boosters launched a Museum Without Walls campaign. It involves volunteers bringing out pop-up mobile and interactive demonstrations of educational exhibits to promote the museum’s mission and grow its base of donors.

The Museum Without Walls will be on hand for the St. Clair Shores Farmers Market 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., Aug. 25 at Blossom Heath Park, 24800 Jefferson Avenue.
