MakeInspires is excited to welcome families to our new Darien Makerspace with a series of free Open House workshops designed for elementary-aged children in grades K–7. These hands-on sessions give students the opportunity to explore creative technology, engineering, and problem-solving through engaging, age-appropriate activities.
During the Open House, children will participate in interactive STEAM experiences such as engineering and building challenges, introductory coding, and robotics. Our programs emphasize creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking while allowing students to learn by doing in a supportive and fun environment.
MakeInspires is a leading STEAM education organization that partners with schools, libraries, and community organizations to deliver high-quality enrichment programs. Our curriculum is designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and help students develop foundational skills for future learning. Families are invited to tour the space, meet our staff, and learn more about our afterschool programs, workshops, camps, and ongoing classes.
