Take creativity and ingenuity to the next level with 3D printers, laser cutters and more!
The Chevron Maker Annex is a place for children to design, construct and showcase their work through both pre-paid and drop-in workshops. All workshops are designed to expose participants to a handful of tools and materials, from hand tools to 3D printers and laser cutters. The space encourages kid makers to tap into their creative potential with access to real tools and high-tech resources.
In the Chevron Maker Annex, a maker is someone who creates products by combining a variety of materials and sharing what they have learned with others. Our workshops begin by introducing various engineering concepts. The topics in the workshops focus on everything from electricity to structural integrity. After an interactive lesson, visitors are challenged to create products based on a prompt, which encourages learning through self-exploration.
The Chevron Maker Annex offers a variety of flexible opportunities for school groups.
