The Teen Lake Make Club is an exciting after-school program designed for young makers who want to explore the world of digital fabrication and technology. Over eight weeks, participants will dive into a variety of creative and technical skills, including 2D design, 3D modelling, 3D printing, laser cutting, coding, and electronics. The program will culminate in a personal project, where each participant will bring their own ideas to life using the skills they’ve learned.
Timing
The Teen Lake Make Club runs from week 2 to week 9 of the school term on Tuesdays 3.45pm - 5.45pm.
Participants can arrive early and wait in Windale Library which has PCs, desks with power and Wi-Fi.
