Makerspace Workshops

Upcoming Makerspace Workshops

The Makerspace hosts workshops featuring different projects throughout the year. Workshops give you a chance to make a project or learn a new skill with all the materials provided and all you need to bring is yourself. They are usually scheduled for Saturday mornings, but can be requested at other times with advance notice.

  • Wednesday, June 3 at 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m.
