We have an After School Program!
Next up is creating your own stuffed animal! This program runs from April 15th to April 26th! Next up is Laser cutting, and we will finish out the year with Robotics and Electronics!
This Program is designed for ages 11 to 15 years old.
Space is limited to 10 students a session! 4:30pm to 6:30pm twice a week! Our original, Fab Lab designed curriculum is something you literally can’t get anywhere else!
Check our our selection of Summer camps for the year!
We have created a summer full of fun, (sneakily) educational hands-on project camps for kids ages 8 to 13! From computer programming to survival in the wilderness, we have camps that exist literally nowhere else!
Morning and afternoon camps can hold up to 20 campers! Mornings from 9am to noon, Afternoons from 1pm to 4pm. With early drop-off and late pick-up options, you can turn it into a full day camp as well!
We run our classes for all ages, and we try to have something for everyone! From woodshop to knitting, and from electronics to pottery, join us to hone a skill or learn a new one! Our classes are designed to be accessible for all skill levels, so sign up for one today!
If you would like to teach classes or workshops, contact us and we can get you started!
Monthly Open Woodshop
Once a month we host an open woodshop day for anyone (member or not) to come in and use the woodshop.
If you have experience (and act safely!) you can use the tools yourself or you can have one of our experienced employees or members do it for you. Cost is a sliding scale depending on how much you need to do. (A drill for 5 mins? free. The tablesaw for a half hour? Not free.)
Check the calendar to find the next open woodshop!
