Maker Sessions 2025-2026
These Saturday classes are designed for girls in 6th through 10th grade. Each session will focus using technology to design and create a certain type of object. No experience is necessary. Girls may attend any or all of the classes but they must register for each session separately. Each session is limited to 20 girls.
We will meet on Saturday Mornings or Sunday Afternoons in the Computer Science labs located in the Science Center on the main campus of Lewis University.
