project : makerspace
Camp Tanager is looking to reinvent arts and crafts at camp with an exciting and innovating makerspace environment. Makerspaces
provide hands-on, creative ways to encourage campers to design, experiment, build and invent as they deeply engage in science, engineering and tinkering.
A makerspace is not solely a science lab, woodshop, computer lab or art room, but it may contain elements found in all of these familiar spaces. The space will accommodate a wide range of activities, tools and materials. A possible range of activities might include:


Cardboard construction

Woodworking
Electronics
Robotics
Digital fabrication
Textiles and sewing
HOW YOU CAN HELP:
