MakerMondays
MakerMondays are exciting, hands-on STEM experiences where creativity meets engineering!
Held each month in the PHYSICS Center Makerspace, every workshop gives participants the opportunity to build, create, and take home a unique project—whether it's a domino robot, a model rocket, a custom 3D-printed fidget toy, an LED holiday decoration, or another exciting maker project.
Designed for all ages and beginner-friendly, MakerMondays are perfect for curious kids, teens, adults, and families.
Children are welcome to build alongside a parent or guardian, or parents can register separately and create their own project for an unforgettable shared experience!
Every workshop includes all materials, guided instruction, and a finished project to take home. Come explore, create, and discover something new—one MakerMonday at a time!
