After-school workshops are a flexible and convenient way to keep kids excited and engaged after school. Arrive anytime between 3 – 4pm to hang out, have a snack and relax. At 4pm the project of the day begins. Students will work side by side with our awesome DAE mentors to start a new project, build on their skills from a previous project, or learn something new!

Students in our after-school program have programmed drones, created games in Scratch, practiced their Python syntax, laser-cut superhero faces, used Wacom tablets to draw in Photoshop, and much more.

Learn to design and build original objects using our 3D Printers and laser cutter! Using TinkerCAD, a free and powerful 3D design program, students will create originally designed models, parts and more!

Students will also use TInkerCAD and Adobe Illustrator to create beautiful engravings and originally designed parts of wood and acrylic using our laser cutter.
