As we ring in the New Year, we are happy to introduce a whole slate of makerspace programs at Caledon Public Library’s (CPL) in January 2024! These makerspace programs are a great way to learn more about the equipment and tools found in CPL’s makerspaces! In these programs, you can explore your creativity and learn about all the exciting possibilities that the makerspaces offer.
Our makerspaces are do-it-yourself studios where everyone can discover high-tech to low-tech tools and technology to design and build projects. You can book a timeslot with the equipment of your choice and bring your project to life!
Registration for the January makerspace programs will open on January 2, 2024 at 10am. You can register through our website here. Please note that available spots can fill up quickly. If programs are full, add your name to the waitlist and you will receive an email if a spot becomes available!
Here are some of the makerspace programs coming in January 2024!
