Many of our Checkout, Make-N-Take, and Skill Development classes are appropriate for younger people: laser, embroidery, vinyl cutter, sewing machines, 3D printer, Arduino and Raspberry Pi programming, CAD, graphic software, and others.  

We’d love to help you identify tools and classes that are a good match to your child's interests and abilities. With every child there will be a different mix of parental support and child-driven energy involved, but in every case we want children to be able to realize their vision!
