Makerspace Saturdays at Advent

STEAM programs for children and adults!

What does STEAM mean? STEAM means science, technology, engineering, art, and math, and STEAM-focused activities combine aspects of all those topics!

On Makerspace Saturdays, Advent hosts families for hour-long project times. We partner with companies like Buildwave, a creative building program that feels like a video game, and community members to offer a variety of engaging challenges.

Makerspace Saturdays are open to everyone - you don't need to be enrolled at Advent to participate!

Upcoming Programs

Want to foster your child's interest in STEM while igniting their creative spark at the same time? Buildwave is a creative building program that feels like a video game!

Over the course of the workshop students create with over a dozen different building materials, including Lego®, PlusPlus®, and custom-made Buildwave materials. The workshop is structured like a video game, with an audiovisual setup featuring animations and music that guide students through the different building waves. As your child creates with wave after wave of new objects, they build creative confidence, become better collaborators, and encounter design and engineering fundamentals in a unique and memorable context.
