Limited financial aid is available on a first-come, first-serve basis. We hold a few spots in each class for applicants, and you may apply at any time. Apply here, and if funding is available we will send you a link to register.

Accessibility notes:

• Parts of the studio space are not climate controlled.
• Students will be exposed to a dusty space with loud machinery.
• Students will be asked to focus at a machine for periods of time.
• Parts of this workshop are held in a computer lab, which is only accessible by one flight of stairs.

* Our goal is to serve under-resourced communities, female-identified, and gender expansive students to help bridge the gender gap in STEAM fields and trades, and create excitement and curiosity around these fields. We ask families to understand that there is limited space in our classes, and know that we welcome students of all genders and demographics.
