Intro to Woodworking

New to woodworking? Come join us in a fun, exploration-based environment to learn how to work with wood safely, use hand tools, build basic structures, and finish wooden projects to a high level of detail. Over the course of several short projects, students will gain skills, accumulate experience and build confidence to be able to pursue their own woodworking projects. Activities will be modified to student age and ability.

Tiny Homes

Students will learn how to create architectural scale models using our  Tiny Home kit and 3D design software (SketchUp). Students will see their designs come to life as they learn how to draft and sketch our floor plan and construct their modular tiny home. They will also tackle furniture design while assembling 1:30 scale IKEA furniture, wiring LED lamps, and utilizing 3D printing customized furniture. Activities will be modified to student age and ability.

Course Outcomes

Coding & Robotics

In Coding & Robotics, students will learn how to build more sophisticated machines powered by the Micro:Bit microcomputer and the MakeCode program. They will begin to learn how to translate block code into Python and use it to program more advanced robotics extensions like ultrasonic distance sensors, servo motors, LEDs, and more!

Battle Bots

Battle Bots teaches the fundamentals of electricity & circuits, programming, and fabrication, serving as an introduction to how these three maker skills can be integrated to build a fun and complex project. Our battle bots are powered by an Arduino microcontroller and custom 3D printed parts. Activities will be modified to student age and ability.
