MakerSpace

The MakerSpace is a workshop for open-ended creation. This space is designed for Makers!  

You will become a Maker as you tinker, draw, make a sculpture or engineer something new.

Upon entering the MakerSpace, you are invited to explore the bins and tables for materials and art supplies.

You may find soft textiles, bendy wire, and a large variety of objects that promote reuse and sustainability in creative ways.

Our workbenches feature rotating projects, from the popular cardboard challenges, to specialized design options, and recurring opportunities to learn how to use wood and hand tools, with a Makerspace staff member.  Tools may include screwdrivers, drills, hammers and sometimes even saws!

Grown-up supervision is required in the Makerspace.  Interested in learning even more about tools and working with wood? Please visit
