Power Carving & Epoxy: Hands-On Making for the Classroom
Thursday June 5, 2025 1:40pm - 4:00pm CDT
Maker Lab
Join us for an immersive, hands-on experience in power carving and epoxy work, designed specifically for educators and makerspace leaders. This session will begin with an exploration of the foundational principles of maker education and the decade of progress that has shaped today’s learning environments. Then, we’ll dive into practical techniques, providing participants with hands-on experience using power carving tools and epoxy to create stunning projects.
But this session isn’t just about making - it’s about teaching making. You’ll gain insights into how to integrate these tools and techniques into your own makerspace, adapting them for different age groups, skill levels, and classroom settings. Whether you’re looking to refine your own skills or empower your students with new creative possibilities, this session will equip you with both the mindset and the methods to bring hands-on innovation to your learning space. 
No prior experience with power carving or epoxy is necessary - just a willingness to create, experiment, and learn!
