Learning at Castlemakers

Laser Engraving/ Cutting Class
Laser Engraving/ Cutting Class at Castlemakers.

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

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.

On October 23 at from 7-9 pm we’re going to have a workshop on Practical Artificial Intelligence(AI). We’ll go through different LLM AI systems and how to develop questions that help you get useful answers. Donations are welcomed.

We’ll have a Laser Cutting and Engraving class on Thursday November 14th from 7-9 pm. You’ll learn the basics of CO2 lasers and then get a quick course in Inkscape to create something you take home that evening. Just in time for Thanksgiving or Christmas! Cost for the class is $15, for reservations email classes@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. 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!
