NCCE’s Maker Camp returns with two sessions in August 2018! After last summer’s sold-out program, we will be expanding our offering to provide even better experiences for participants.  You will spend two days at the beautiful Pack Forest Conference Center in Eatonville, Washington (just 90 minutes from Seattle) working with experienced Maker educators and immersing yourself into fun and exciting activities. Rustic cabin lodging and delicious meals are included in the registration fee. Credit and Clock Hours available.  
 
Introduction to Makerspaces

Why: Makerspaces are springing up in classrooms and libraries throughout the Northwest. They can range from simple stations for building with cardboard and duct tape up to high-tech labs. If you are starting new, you can learn the tips and tricks to launch your program. If you are already implementing a Makerspace, you can learn new tricks and share your learning with new colleagues! Leave this camp armed with ready-to-go activities and ideas.
