The MAKER U event immerses students in 12 projects over the course of three days. Each project is designed to engage and activate your child’s inner maker genius. Rally Time, lunch time and Show and Tell times are also built into the schedule. See daily schedule below.
At Maker U, we believe that everyone has the skills and aptitudes to make stuff. It’s just a human thing, and it’s lots of fun. We partner with parents in helping kids discover a love of learning, making, and sharing their talents. Because everyone has a unique flavor of maker genius, our Maker U events include a diversity of Maker projects. Designing. Building. Inventing. Collaborating. Performing. Playing. Science Projects. Joking. Games. Art. Contests. Practical Skill Development. Life Hacks. Sports. Even Singing!
