How We’re Fostering Maker Magic
-
Students receive one-on-one attention from skilled and passionate teachers in a wide variety of topics, including woodworking, woodturning, blacksmithing, digital fabrication, sewing, crafting, and more.
-
We provide a collaborative space where the diverse makers, artists, and doers of the Columbia Gorge can connect and create through community events, classes and camps. All ages, backgrounds, and skill levels are welcome here!
-
With a complete fab-lab of robotics, electronics and digital tools, we host several teams of youth who compete nationally in contests for design, invention, marine engineering and chain reaction machines.
-
At our Open House events we invite everyone in the community to experience the joy of making. Gift making nights for families, repair cafes for broken appliances, and demonstrations by skilled artists are ways we enjoy encouraging new makers.
