In our workshops, we use real tools to make real things and re-use everyday materials in exciting ways. From woodworking and plaster casting to electronics and 3D printing, we encourage experimentation, open-ended exploration, and believe that making mistakes is a great way to learn.
Public workshops run Saturday and Sunday,
1:30 –3 pm & 3:30 – 5 pm.
Maker Space programs are supported by the Capital One Foundation, Cognizant, and the Dassault Systèmes US Foundation.
Maker Space Professional Development
Our Maker Space professional development programs are designed to foster creative problem solving through our pedagogical approach that demonstrates how materials exploration and tinkering for learners of all ages can support and develop an “I Can” mentality. Select from one of our series of one-day workshops, mix or match them, or customize a professional development program that meets your needs.
