Our Programs
-
The Little Makers program is designed for elementary students to get introduced to the Innovation Empire. Students will learn about 3D printers and other machinery in the makerspace. In addition to the machines, students will learn about being entrepreneurs and the basics of starting a business. This program will consist of interactive presentations and small-group activities.
-
Similar to the “Little Makers,” the Makers program will be specifically tailored to middle and high school students. The students will be provided with a more in-depth makerspace experience. They will have opportunities to get trained on certain machines and on the design software as well. In addition to the makerspace, students will learn practices that successful entrepreneurs use today to develop, test, and launch a business, all while gaining skills around problem solving and collaboration.
-
STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Arts Math) camps will be held during breaks (summer, winter & spring breaks for FUSD students).
-
Workshops will be designed to help students improve their skills in programming, design, utilizing machinery, robotics, and more.
-
We work with local area colleges to recruit students (volunteers) that are majoring in computer science or have an interest in maker technology to support the Innovation Empire as well as receive hands-on learning experiences. Click here to get started.
