MakerLab Classes & Workshops
MakerLab Youth Immersion
This is YOUR chance to shine!
MakerLab Youth Immersion is where 15- to 20-year-olds get to work with some of the best artists in Prince George.
Every week, you’ll try something new: 3D printing, laser engraving, drum making, and MUCH more. Over the course of the school year, you will choose a project to work on, that will be featured in our “MakerLab Youth Immersion” exhibition in the gallery in September.
At least 6 spots in the program are reserved for youth who self-identify as First Nations. This program is heavily subsidised, and is available at no cost to those in financial need.
