Triad Youth Makers offers a variety of maker-learning experiences for youth, families, and “kids of all ages”. Our target age range is 10-17 years old, but we love to work with learners of ALL ages.
We offer experiences designed from 2 hours (minimum) to weekly/monthly sessions. Each experience can be tailored to your individual or group needs.
