Maker Nexus is an excellent makerspace. It is well equipped and has a friendly and helpful staff and very friendly and helpful members! Maker Nexus offers a number of classes so that you can learn to use the equipment safely and effectively. I took the 3D printer class and not only learned about the printers, but also got an excellent education about how to take STL files from 3D CAD programs and use the Slicer program to produce 3D printer files (gcode) with an optimized design.

Questions & Answers
How will Covid concerns be handled? Will there be social distancing in the form of reduced classes and mandatory masks?

We are following all of the County guidelines to keep everyone as safe as possible. We will be enforcing social distancing, as well as requiring masks at all times indoors. We've set up additional work space dedicated to students to give them more room to socially distance. We've limited camp enrollments as well, and will only be offering a single camp each week (typically we have 2-3 camps in various subjects running concurrently). The health and safety of our students and staff is our #1 concern, and we especially want to make sure students have a safe experience here. -

Thank you for your interest,We are working hard on getting the classes online. We have a schedule, but still need to finalize the write ups and photos. Target is to have all set by end of this coming week: There will be a mix of camps from Textiles, robotics, electronics, woodworking and laser/3d printing for a variety of ages. The week of July 4th will be day camps with a different theme each day - those are posted for sign ups already. -
