Anderson MakerLab
The Anderson MakerLab is the ideal place to learn, create and share. It’s a place to explore new technologies, acquire new skills and problem-solve with peers. We provide free access to tools, technologies and learning resources that promote science, technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) education as well as hands-on learning, collaboration and individual exploration. The Anderson MakerLab is for Makers ages 8-adult. Makers between the ages of 8 and 12 need to attend with an adult.
