DIY Makers' Spring Camp at Makerspace! Learn about fabrication and making, build your own projects this spring break.
This spring, we are bringing you the opportunity to dive into learning and experimenting with the fabrication tools and equipment at Makerspace. Children will learn each day about a creative department and to apply technical and creative knowledge to produce a project of their own.
We are offering two themes this year: Week 1 being My City and Week 2 being The holy month of Ramadan.
This is a unique opportunity to get hands on, active and creative and develop basic skills from working with the laser cutter, basics of electronics, basic sewing, how printing on fabrics is done, using a hand drill, soldering basics circuits, working with LED lights, batteries and wires, building with clay bowls and cups and other.
All in all, this is a multi-disciplinary and fun week if you take it all, however, you can still choose to enrol per day and focus on specific topics as your time allows.
