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.
