3D Fabrication
This workshop offers hands-on learning, enhances creativity, and encourages critical thinking by allowing students to transform their ideas into physical real-world models
Da Vinci Bridge
Fully experience Da Vinci's genius using little more than a stack of pencils and elastic bands. Concepts include structural integrity, general mechanics, teamwork, and cooperation.
Geodesic Dome
Use engineering to emulate one of the most elegant forms in nature - the sphere. Concepts covered include structural integrity, geometry, practical mathematics, and design thinking.
2D Fabrication
Students engage in a creative design process, appreciate design principles as problem-solving activity and gain an understanding of the role of digital fabrication in a design skillset.
Fabulous Flight
We explore flight and some forms and ways to fly. We will build a paper airplane and a launcher made from laser-cut parts, electronics, and motors during the workshop.
Electronics Kits
Students learn engineering skills by brainstorming, designing thinking, and building a simple machine. They attach and wire up mechanical components and program these to carry outspecific tasks.
Who We Serve
We are committed to providing accessible STE(A)M education to all students. Our workshops are designed to accommodate learners of various levels and backgrounds.
"For many of our students now is when they start to think about their future studies and this visit from ATU MakerSpace has made STEM come alive."
"It was fun, not so serious and we felt like a team figuring stuff out together….can we do more stuff like this?"
"Thanks to ATU MakerSpace and the enthusiastic Chris for a wonderful two days. The students were completely engaged in the creation of the geodesic dome. It was a delight for me to see the students working as a team to complete the task"
