MakerSpace Lab

⚠️This facility is closed until September 1st, 2024 for remodeling!⚠️

Overview

Part of the hatch house has been converted to a space for hands-on projects for all grades. Many of these activities are designed around both the local area and aligned to NGSS Engineering Design standards. This space is used regularly by students across the Butte Falls School District but can also be reserved and used by outside groups. A major point of emphasis for all groups using the NRC's MakerSpace Lab is that of reusing and recycling materials.
