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

Intro to 3D Printing & Tinkercad – In this class we’ll give you an overview of how 3D printing works then you design a small part in Tinkercad that we’ll help you print out on our Core One printer. It’s a great way to learn the basics of 3D printing and the process to make parts. The class will be on Monday May 4 at 5:30 pm downstairs in the Kiwanis Room at the Putnam County Public Library. Cost of the 2 hour class will be $20, for reservations email classes@castlemakers.org.

Reservations are always encouraged; you can contact us at classes@castlemakers-dot-org or stop by during our Open Shop hours. You can also subscribe to our monthly events newsletter to get the information by email.

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, glass fusing, and even welding. 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!
