Homeschool Makertime (8–12 yrs)
📅 Wednesday, 17 June 2026 — 10:30 am to 12:30 pm
What is it?
A makerspace workshop for homeschoolers aged 8–12, focused on building, creating and experimenting with practical projects.
Who is it for?
Children aged 8–12 who enjoy making, building or tinkering, and families wanting a structured creative session in the city.
Beginner friendly?
Yes. No prior experience with tools or making is required.
What do children usually do?
Children work through a guided project—cutting, assembling, designing or constructing—using simple tools and materials. They follow clear instructions while still having room to make creative choices.
What should parents expect?
Expect a focused, upbeat workshop with a clear start and finish. Facilitators lead the session so parents can either stay close by or take a short break while children work. The environment feels safe, organised and designed for this age range.
