Family Open Make Day

At our Family Open Make (FOM) days, kids, tweens, teens, and their families will have access to our space, project kits, materials, and hand tools to create, explore, and learn! There is no charge for this all-ages experience (there may be a nominal fee for optional special project supplies) and it is open to the public.

Note the time change from prior events!
FOM will run from 2:00pm - 5:00pm

Kids of all ages and parents are welcome to bring their own projects or work with ours. Our Young Maker Zone is stocked with craft supplies, electronics, snap circuits / Little Bits, computer programming, Lego, sewing & textiles, games, project building materials, 2D & 3D CAD design, "deconstruction" (taking things apart to see what's inside), and more.

We welcome families & friends of all shapes & sizes, however Tampa Hackerspace is an active workshop! Children must be supervised at all times.

Minors (under 18 years old) should be accompanied by an adult — this is NOT a drop-off activity — and we ask that adults be accompanied by a youth participant. Our Tuesday evening Open Makes are more appropriate for unaccompanied adults.

We use many consumable materials in our Family Open Make program, and we rely on donations from members and visitors to keep our #Young Maker Zone shelves stocked. Cash donations are always gratefully accepted. Look for the donation jar when you get here or donate online: https://tampahackerspace.square.site/#bVDZhY
