After School Workshops

We’re excited to offer after school workshop for the first time. After school workshops are open to middle school students (5th – 8th grades) and will meet on Tuesday, 4:30 – 6:30pm, for four weeks. Workshops are a great way to explore specific STEM topics in a small-class setting while designing and fabricating a take-home project. Each session teaches engineering fundamentals through craft and design. Students apply their creativity and knowledge to create a one-of-a-kind project that they can take home.
