Maker Workshop

The Maker Workshop is a program where Library patrons can gather to create and invent, tinker and explore, and discover new things using a variety of Makerspace equipment and craft materials. The program mainly focuses on STEM/STEAM activities, often with crafty elements. What is STEM/STEAM? Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics!
