Saturday Morning Makerspace
There's nothing better than building something with your own hands—and even better when you build it together. Our Saturday Morning Makerspace workshops invite students and their families to spend a morning creating, experimenting, and problem-solving side by side. Every workshop is designed to be engaging, educational, and fun, with all supplies included and a unique project for each participant to bring home.
