Welcome to our Metalshop Fabrication Fundamentals workshop! This hands-on course is designed to teach students the fundamental skills and techniques necessary to work with metal and create their own custom metal pieces.

Fabrication Fundamentals will help enforce the use of welders and metal working tools. There are many variables to a metal project; the material you are using, the thickness of that material, the amount of heat put into that material, and the order that you assemble the project are just a few. It is important to understand not only how to use equipment but how to plan out a project. In this class we will work on designing and fabricating a shop step stool.

Over the course of the workshop, students will learn the basics of metalworking, including how to measure and cut metal accurately, how to bend and shape metal using different tools and techniques, and how to join pieces of metal together using welding techniques.

By the end of the workshop, students will have gained the confidence and skills necessary to create their own metal project. They will also have a strong foundation to continue their metalworking education and explore more advanced techniques.

Our experienced instructors will provide expert guidance throughout the course, ensuring that each student receives personalized attention and support. Join us for an exciting and informative journey into the world of metalworking!

This was a wonderful introduction to woodworking! The workshop space had so many different interesting projects about which hinted at the creative possibilities. My child who attended really enjoyed their time and came home showcasing the many different things they had built.

So glad your son had a fun time. This is our first year offering a woodworking camp for ages 6-9, and it has been a big success. We love seeing the smiles on their faces when they finish their projects. We hope to see him at another camp!

Made one thing for each day, very fun! Perhaps more welding options?
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. -
