January Makerspace Events

Thank you so much for your interest in the Maker Space at the St. George Library. The grand opening was a lot of fun, but now it's time to get down to the business of helping you make stuff. The goal of the maker space is to provide a fun and safe environment for all ages where you can learn to use the high tech tools we have there to make your ideas a reality, or come do a project that we provide that will be sure to teach you something new. With a space like this, iteration and change are paramount, even when it comes to the space itself. We're always open to your suggestions and idea. If you want something that isn't offered, feel free to reply to this email and let us know.

The maker space has open hours every Wednesday through Saturday.
  • Wednesday: 2 pm - 8pm

Safety Certification Courses

To insure your safety, before you can freely use the equipment at the maker space, you must be certified on the equipment. Certification courses are 1 hour long and involve a bit of instruction, a quiz, and a hands-on activity that will serve as your certification badge to enable you to use the machines during open hours. Certification courses are scheduled for every Wednesday at 4pm and will rotate through the available equipment at the maker space. Certification can be schedule at other times by request.
  • January 10: 3D Printer Certification

While we desire to make a space that is open for all, for safety reasons, children under 8 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
