Makerspace Workshops
Summer Camps
We offer summer camps through UWGB’s summer camp program.
Design Tech Intro - Tinkercad
A class for beginners to learn how to use Tinkercad software, 3d printers and laser cutters. This is the introductory class that sets the stage for all the other higher level Design Tech courses we offer. This includes direct instruction on age-appropriate projects with open-ended creative input. By the end of this class, students should have confidence in the process of creating designs in Tinkercad and outputting them to 3d print and laser cutting.
Participants in this class should have basic computer navigation skills before joining.
Homeschool: Mondays 10 AM - 12 PM (Youth 10 & older)
Afterschool: Mondays 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM (Youth 10 & older)
Cost $150 per student (8 sessions)
Fall workshop: Oct. 7, 14, 21, 28 Nov. 4, 11, 18, 25
Design Tech Intro - OnShape
A class for beginners in CAD to learn how to use OnShape software to design, 3d print and laser cut. This is an intro class that sets the stage for all the other higher level Design Tech courses we offer. OnShape is professional CAD software - more complex to learn, but much more capable than Tinkercad. The class includes direct instruction on the basics of tools in software and equipment while developing projects with open-ended creative input. By the end of this class, students should have confidence in the process of creating simple OnShape designs and outputting them to 3d print and laser cutting. Students that took Design Tech Intro - Tinkercad may take this course as well.
Participants in this class should have basic computer navigation skills before joining.
You will be required to create a “hobbyist” account with OnShape in order to participate in this class.

This is NEW workshop! Are you interested in coding? So are we, but we still like to make real things! Join us in this workshop as we explore several different coding platforms including Adafruit Circuit Playground, Microsoft BBC micro-bit and Tinkercad Codeblocks - all will result in physical things - brought to life with your algorithms!
* Cost of this class includes one Adafruit Circuit Playground board and one Microsoft BBC Microbit board that you will keep.
Participants in this class should have basic computer navigation skills before joining.
Homeschool: Thursdays 10 AM - 12 PM (Youth 10 & older)

Saturday projects
Every second Saturday of the month we will open the workshop to share one of the projects that we have developed as part of our programming. These are fun, step-by-step assembly projects often with an open-ended detail to be created. Work with a child, friends or family and make it a Saturday am outing!
Open to anyone: 9 AM - 12 PM (Youth under 12 must be accompanied by an adult)
Cost $25 per project kit
May Workshop: May 11 (light-up stands)
There will be no Saturday Projects June - August. They will resume in September. Check out our summer camps with UWGB in the link at the top of this page.
May Project - Light Stands
Design, laser cutting and LEDS make for a great Saturday morning project ( pssst…they also make great Mothers Day gifts).
We have easy-to-customize templates, or, if you have Tinkercad chops, you can design your own etching. Then use our illustrated instructions to put it all together and light it up!.
Pizza & Project Night
This is an opportunity for teachers (formal and informal) to get together, network, socialize and learn a valuable maker skill for your classroom. We’ll bring the pizza and you may bring a refreshment of your choice.
Participants must be over 21 to participate.
Thursdays: 4:30 PM - 6:30 PM
Cost $5 per teacher
May 9: (Tinkercad Codeblocks)

Not seeing a workshop at a time or a format that you like?
If you have a group of 10, we’d be happy to create a custom workshop at a time and place that works for your group. Just reach out and share your ideas.
Unless otherwise stated, all workshops occur at the Brown County STEM Innovation Center on the UW-Green Bay Campus.
