Open Shop time at the Makerspace (19 E. Franklin) in June is on Saturdays 9 am-noon and 7-9 pm on Tuesdays. Bring in a project to work on, try one of ours, or just visit! Our equipment list & library continues to grow.
We’ll be providing and building race cars during the June 2nd First Friday on Franklin Street from 6-8 pm in front of the makerspace. Come experiment on our race track to see what travels the quickest!
The Castlemakers CoderDojo, a free volunteer-led, community-based programming club for young people, meets the first Saturday of every month. You can visit anytime during the meeting, which is Saturday June 3rd from 1-4 pm.

hi, I have 2 questions; are kids welcome on Tuesdays and are code dojo sessions still being held on the first Saturday of the month?
Definitely on both! Kids are welcome anytime we have open shop (Tuesday nights for now), in May when the Farmer’s Market opens downtown we’ll have the makerspace open Saturday Mornings also.
When will you be having a class on the laser cutter/printer?
Thank you.

Hope for late July/early August. Our plan is letting folks make an acrylic keychain or we have some interest in building Dice Towers. The original design software we were going to use needs a laptop at least, which we don’t have enough of to do a class. But working on a way to use Chromebooks, a recent gift we received from Techpoint Foundation for Youth.
