Rookie Makers

Rookie Makers introduces 3rd-6th grade students to the fundamentals of engineering as they work together on project-based STEM activities. Each project is unique, reflecting each child’s individuality and understanding. Assemblies can be accomplished using alternative paths based on building material selection and assembly decisions. Teams use real-world tools and materials to bring their creations to life. Throughout the project, they will continue experimenting with different building materials and tools, seeking innovative ways to construct functional components. Our next public Rookie Makers cohort is scheduled for Heatherdowns Branch Library, January 12 – February 2, 2027.

We can adapt Rookie Makers to the needs of your homeschool or youth organization. We furnish all materials and tools. The host organization supplies the venue and internet access.
