During open lab time students can make what they want using equipment and materials from the maker closet, including: sewing machines, fabric, Perler beads, 3D printers, vinyl sticker cutters, an embroidery machine, art supplies, electrical components, computers for coding and 3D design, and bins full of assorted materials.

Week 2 (Aug 10 - 14): Fiber and Arts Week! - Sewing, Embroidery, & Sticker Making
