Teach A Class

Are You interested in Teaching a class in the Makerspace?

Of course you are!

 

If you have a maker skill you would like to share, our makerspace wants to work with you. You can plan a single session training or a series which happens on a schedule (all of a vacation week, weekly, monthly, you choose). If we can host your class, we will offer the use of our space and even our equipment, where appropriate.

Our initial activities have all been built around shared interests with a mainly informal "class" structure, but we hope to develop a series of offerings that will let us serve the communities of the Metrowest area and attract new members.

Fees for classes at Framingham Makerspace are split 50:50 between the instructor and the makerspace so we can support our space and equipment maintenance costs. It is not necessary to be a member to offer classes at the makerspace.

Members of Framingham Makerspace are not required to teach courses, but we hope that the spirit of sharing skill and knowledge will result in informal mentoring so our group's skill set grows and matures with time.

Course planning should consider the target audience and the maker-skill you want to teach. Not all activities can be child-friendly, but we are very interested in encouraging youth-oriented events. Making is for EVERYONE!

Community is important at Framingham Makerspace.  We expect our members to be active in our makerspace community.  For that reason we do not offer day passes or other short term memberships to our makerspace.

We try to hold member social gatherings, usually potluck, every few months.
