An afterschool STEM experience like no other

Fun and challenging guided STEM projects each week

$10 sign ups are required for afterschool pickup only. All others are welcome to drop in.

Student’s time in the workshop will be billed as open makerspace time.

We recommend allowing 1-2 hours each day to give students ample time to finish projects. Students are welcome to stay until the end of open hours at 5:30PM.

Projects will take 2-3 hours to complete and students will typically complete them over 2-3 days.

Each week will showcase a new project, requiring the use of 3D printing, laser cutting, power tools, electronics, soldering, woodworking, and more. Most projects will get to be taken home by students upon completion.

All students must be signed up for open makerspace time and in grade 3+ to participate .

Hours

Mon-Fri: 2:00-6:00PM

Weekends: 12:00-3:00PM

  • Makerspace time is unstructured where students have access to our workshop, tools, and materials to work on their own projects.

  • Students grades 3+ can be signed up for a makerspace plan.

  • Once signed up, students can drop in anytime we are open and do not need to sign up for time slots in advance.

How it works

  • Consumables — 3D printer filament, electronic components, wood, etc. — are not included in the membership. Students will log their consumable use in our system and this will be billed along with their plan.

  • During sign up, parents are can set a weekly budget for their students that caps what they are allowed to spend on consumables.

Liability Waiver

All student must have signed policies and liability waiver on file to attend Workshop Time. Please make sure to complete this for your student before attending. Thank you!
