AFTER-SCHOOL CLASSES
Join us for an afternoon of makering 1x per week all semester long! Our classes start after-school on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and run for 2 hours. Each after-school class includes an ambitious, age-appropriate, and fun maker project, which could include crafts, art, gardening, cooking, design, science, music, life skills, sewing, carpentry, or a combination of these.
Each project incorporates the safe use of various tools, integrates upcycled materials through a range of creative techniques, and promotes the development of life skills. Each project is demonstrated using best practices, while individual creativity is celebrated. We close each class by cleaning up the Makerspaces and reflecting on the day.
The details:
After-school classes run from 3:30pm–5:30pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the school semester.
Makering activities officially begin at 3:30pm, so young makers arriving from different schools won't miss out on the fun!
Drop-off begins 5 minutes before class.
After-school classes are open to young makers ages 6–14 and are intentionally small, with a maximum of 4 makers.
All necessary supplies and materials are included.
Cooking projects are often part of after-school classes. Please let us know about any food allergies or dietary restrictions so accommodations can be made.
Please bring an after-school snack and water bottle each day, and have a sweatshirt or jacket for outdoor activities.
Visit our sign-up page to explore upcoming semester dates, then reserve your spot.
Enrollment, Refunds, and Cancellation Policy:
Enrollment covers 1 class per week for the semester. We do not offer pay-as-you-go or pay-per-project.
We do not provide refunds for missed classes, but when possible, we will offer an opportunity to make up a missed class. Make-up classes must be used within the same semester.
To initiate cancellation of your semester enrollment, please email deneese@alamedamakering.com at least 14 days before the intended cancellation date. Any remaining tuition will be refunded, less a 5% cancellation fee (to cover processing costs).
