TEENS AGES 12-18 (grades 7-12) are invited to come participate in our TEEN Maker Day!

A Makerspace is a community-based workspace where teens can come to create, experiment, and learn, using a variety of tools, materials, and technologies, both high and low-tech.  Makerspaces encourage creative and hands-on making that can be done collaboratively or in solo "free play."

For our Teen Maker Day, you are welcome to come at any time during the program and stay for as long or as little during the allotted time as you'd like!  Create 1 thing or many things!  A range of resources and craft materials will be provided, which may include:
