Do you want to come and learn in our makerspace at Darling Square Library with your children?
Join this 3-hour session to get hands-on experience with 3D printers, laser cutters, microscopes, marble-run, wind-tube, and electronic and robotics kits.
We'll introduce you to a series of starter projects designed to develop your creative thinking skills. You could learn how to use an Arduino, Makey Makey or a Sphero, or build simple circuits. You could create a small 3D print, laser cut a box or etch a creative design onto perspex.
What you'll learn
In each session, 2 experienced facilitators will be on hand to introduce you to making projects, show you the space and its equipment and discuss your ideas. There will be an emphasis on peer-to-peer learning and learning from publicly available resources within the class.
If you have your own project idea you'd like to explore we encourage you to email us on makerspace@cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au before your session so we can best support you and your children.

Details
Cost: $10 for each child (accompanying adults are free).
Bookings and class size: maximum 15 children - bookings essential.
Suitable for: 8 to 12 years and their parents or guardians.

What to bring
