Get creative! Stop by the Makerspace during open hours to make the monthly drop-in project! All materials and instructions are provided for this self-guided activity. A new project is featured every month and no registration is required.
Heads up! The Drop-in Project won't be available during scheduled programs. To allow for setup and takedown, the Makerspace will also be closed 30 minutes before and after each program.
Plan ahead! Visit our home page at makerspace.aapld.org or call us at 847-458-6060 option 7 to confirm Drop-in Project availability.
Safety First! Drop-in projects are for ages 14 and up. Visitors under 14 must be accompanied and closely supervised by an adult or responsible caregiver throughout their visit; they may not complete the project.
