A big part of our mission involves education and enabling people to learn and do things they didn’t realize they could do. That’s why we offer classes and workshops to others.

It’s also about sharing knowledge with others. Being an all volunteer organization, we rely on not only our active members to share that knowledge but also others in the community. So when a CNC machinist who works in Terre Haute volunteered to teach a class in the software program he uses everyday, Fusion 360, we jumped at the opportunity. It turned out to be a great hands-on class on how to design parts and components in 3D – he offered to help the class attendees on their own design in the last hour of the class.

Do you have something you’d be willing or like to show others in our community? We’re glad to work with you put together a workshop or class, it’s something that we have done a lot over the last 10 years since Castlemakers first started as a ‘maker group’ and later turned into a makerspace. We’ve offered classes from Artificial Intelligence (AI) to Welding – and an awful lot in between. Stop in during our Open Shop times or send us an email if you have something you’d like to share!
