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.

We’ll be offering a beginner class, Much Ado about Llamas, in Artificial Intelligence(AI) where you get to train/create/experiment with a Large Language Model(LLM) on a Windows PC. No previous experience is necessary and we’ll have all the tools you need, including computers, to do it. The class will be from 7-9 pm on Thursday June 20th – for a $10-15 donation we can include an USB drive with your AI creation to take home with you. Class space is limited, contact us classes @ castlemakers.org for more information and a reservation.

In July we’ll be offering a class to convert your Windows laptop to Linux class. One option will be using one of the laptops we have for sale to install Linux!

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 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!
