Get Ready to Get Hands-On!

At the Kids Tech Summer Camp at The Makerspace, we believe the best learning happens when you’re not afraid to get hands-on! Here’s what you need to know:

Dress for Fun:

  • Expect to Get Messy: Whether you’re working with wood, metal, or digital tools, you’ll be doing lots of hands-on activities. Embrace the process and don’t worry about getting a little dirty!
  • Comfortable Clothes: Wear clothes that you don’t mind getting stained or dirty. Comfortable, old clothes are perfect for our fun and sometimes messy projects.
  • Closed-Toe Shoes: For safety reasons, especially in the woodshop and when working with heavy materials, closed-toe shoes are a must.
  • Hair and Accessories: Long hair should be tied back, and avoid wearing any accessories that could get caught or damaged.
