Technology - In order to give young people access to current maker resources, the NKY Makerspace needs to update technology like 3D printers, computers, vinyl cutters, and educational robotics.
Makerspace Field Trips - The NKY Makerspace offers Field Trip experiences for K-12 classes utilizing Makerspace technology and resources. These field trips enable students to engage in hands-on maker activities outside of their classrooms. We need to purchase the consumable materials for the young people who participate in the field trip experiences.
The Maker Expo - This celebration of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) making will be held at the Ignite Institute on May 11, 2024 from 10am-2pm. The family-focused expo will feature 50+ activities and exhibits from students, schools, artists, companies, and organizations in the Greater Cincinnati area. We need to rent equipment for the event and purchase maker resources for our interactive projects. We are hoping to receive enough community donations to make this event free for families.
