Want to explore new technologies and new designs? Want to build something amazing this summer?

Bellevue College’s RISE MakerSpace is hosting the Makers & Scholars Summer Experience, a series of 5 workshops and makerspace events.  As 2019 is the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, our events have an aerospace theme this year.  The workshops are FREE and OPEN TO ALL BC STUDENTS.  Students who participate in 4 or more workshops will receive a certificate as a RISE Learning Institute Maker & Scholar.*

IMPORTANT NOTE: The workshops for the Makers & Scholars Summer Experience are currently full, but we will admit students on a space-available basis, so feel free to drop by.  In addition, we still have room in all of our open-build hours.

All workshops begin in the RISE MakerSpace, B237.
