Castlemakers offers classes to the general public, sometimes with a modest charge, so you can learn new things and to satisfy that inner desire to make something. Registering for these classes really helps us out so to make sure there’s enough equipment and components for class attendees.
Upcoming Classes
An Intro to Welding class will be held on Saturday April 26th from 1-4pm. Learn about plasma cutting & wire feed welding by making a butterfly out of metal parts. You must be over 16 years old, and there is limited space available. We’ll have all the parts and equipment you need for this $60 class, but you will need to contact us in advance for registration and details on what to wear.
We’re having a Installing Linux workshop on Monday May 28th from 7-9 pm. Learn about Linux software by installing Ubuntu desktop on one of our HP laptops, or bring your own. There no charge for this workshop, but of course donations always accepted. If you’d like to have an HP laptop with Linux installed, for a modest donation you can take one of the laptops home with the software you installed!
Reservations are always encouraged; you can contact us at classes@castlemakers-dot-org or stop by the makerspace. You can also subscribe to our monthly events newsletter to get the information by email.
Have something you’re interested learning about? Have a skill you’d like to teach others? Let us know (info at castlemakers.org)!

Previous Classes
Our classes provide a good way for the public and our members to learn about using some of the equipment in the makerspace. They ranged from 3D printing, laser cutters, CNCs, and more. From electronics, soldering, solar, and of course microcomputers: including Arduinos, micro:bits and Raspberry Pi’s. We’ve even had a class on Artificial Intelligence(AI)! We try to show that anyone can learn old and new technologies – while having some fun doing it.
We’re not limited to technology though, many have an artistic flair, including Cricut classes, creating jelly art and even welding. We’re even experimenting with glass classes! What we really enjoy is getting people from different areas & disciplines so they can help each other learn, innovate, and do things they didn’t know they could do!
