This July Great Plains MakerSpace is happy to be hosting a new month long series! It's called Women, Innovation, Skills, and Entrepreneurship or WISE. It is a partnership with the Kansas Small Business Development Center (KSBDC), made possible through a grant from Women of Purpose.
WISE empowers women by providing hands-on skills training and entrepreneurial education. This 5-week workshop will meet every Tuesday night in July from 6pm to 8pm. This program is for women with an entrepreneurial and creative spirit who would like to learn more about how to build their own small business centered around goods they can make themselves.
