Hands-on experiences
for curious minds.
Each workshop is a real engineering experience scaled to fit the learner. Small groups, real tools, real depth—and something built and understood at the end.
Building Things With Code
Young learners discover how computers actually work—then use that knowledge to build a working game from the wire up. C on a microcontroller, Python on a laptop, and a custom game controller each learner builds.
Talking in Light
Learners build a working optical modem from scratch—an LED, a light sensor, an Arduino—then write a desktop chat app in C# so two computers hold a real conversation across nothing but a beam of light.
Connected Systems
The natural climb after a single beam of light: take the conversation onto a real network, design protocols that hold up at scale, and add a database that remembers what was said. A working title—the shape will follow where the first cohorts want to go.
Development
Light, Lens, and Logic
A crossover program drawing from large-format and traditional photography alongside hands-on technical work. Built in partnership with SilverHue Studios. Details and dates to come.
Development
Built as a series.
Each program is a connected series of sessions that build on one another. A learner is welcome to any and all of them—ideally all—and the picture comes together session by session. The format is small and flexible on purpose, so it can bend toward the people in the room.
Attend the whole series
Sessions build on each other, so a learner gets the most from attending all of them. Come to as many as you can—there's value in every one.
Miss one? You stay on track
If a learner can't make a session, materials go home so the work can continue and the next session still lands. I'm always glad to catch someone up one-on-one.
Found a favorite? Go deeper
If a session really clicks, I'll happily add a follow-on that digs further into it—or takes on a fresh project in the same spirit.
Shaped around real interest
When curiosity runs toward a particular topic, I'll tailor a session on the spot to make it land. That's the advantage of keeping groups small.
Bring your own project
Working on something for school or just for fun—on your own or with friends? I'm glad to work alongside an individual or a group on it.
Off-site sessions
I can come to a school or group to work with a larger audience, depending on what equipment can travel. Reach out and we'll see what's possible.
By appointment, and glad to plan around you.
Sessions are arranged directly so the timing and the group fit each other. With a small space, each session is by appointment—reach out and we'll find a time that works.
Two to three hours, with the pace set by the room.
Usually Saturdays, with some weekday evenings. The calendar shows what's scheduled.
By appointment, so the timing fits the group. Just email me or call or text and I'll confirm the details with you directly.
For a younger learner, a parent is welcome to sit in. Space can be tight, so a quick heads-up lets me make room.
A few quick details, then we build.
The first time a learner joins, I'll note a few basics—name and age, a parent or guardian for anyone under 18, an emergency contact, and an email or phone number if you'd like to hear about upcoming sessions. Nothing more than needed.
I work hard to keep the space clean, organized, and welcoming. You can look over the registration and participation form ahead of time.
Looking for something specific?
New programs are added as the community grows. Reach out with a learner's interests, ask a question, or set up a quick no-pressure meeting first so you can get a feel before signing up.
