In this special edition of our makerspace we are letting kids and parents try out some of the projects we have made with teens! We will be working with the laser engraver, and potentially the new 3D printer, to make projects like the Tensegrity table (a tension-suspension table) or a string hyperboloid! Program is for kids ages 812. Not a dropoff program, parents must stick around to help their kid with the project.
