maker-crew_main

Learn the basic engineering principles of mechanics as you program, design and build in this mechanical engineering workshop with the Maker Crew in our
Chevron Maker Annex workspace!

In Level 1 you will begin to learn basic engineering principles while using CAD software to design a small yet crucial piece of a hydraulic arm.

In Level 2 you will learn how to troubleshoot a prototype hydraulic arm.

In Level 3 you will be able to design and build your own hydraulic arm!

Upon completion of this Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 workshops, interested participants will be invited to join our brand new Kid's Maker Crew - with exclusive workshops and tinkering opportunities.

Please note that the preceding level(s) must be completed before moving on to the next level. When available, only register for next level 2 and/or 3 if you have completed the previous level(s).
