MakerMeet have once again teamed up with Architecture Kerry to bring you a series of Maker-led, S.T.E.A.M.-based, hands-on workshops.
We have designed our workshops to be as accessible and diverse to as broad an age range as possible.
Participants will explore Science, Engineering, Arts and Maths (no technology this time!) in 4 workshops throughout the day giving them valuable Maker experience to better equip them with the skills to fuel their imagination, create, fabricate and construct architectural designs!
Workshops | Saturday 1st October 2022 | Venue: Listowel Library
Construct a Ginormous Geodesic Dome | Time: 10.30-11.30 | Ages: 8+
Join MakerMeet and help build a VERY large Geodesic Dome. All materials are provided and all participants will have to do is simply click spars into place as the dome raises to almost 10 feet high and 20 feet in diameter!
Note: Workshop limited to 20 participants
Make a Small Geodesic Dome | Time: 12.00-13.00 | Ages: 7+
This time, the Geodesic Domes will be much smaller and easier to handle! MakerKits are supplied for students to make their own personal Geodesic Dome. The kits are Lego® compatible and simply click together. All participants take their Geodesic Domes home to continue their designs, add using Lego®, lights, different designs and even more!
Note: Workshop limited to 15 participants
Make a Town | Time: 13.30-14.30 | Ages: 6+
Design, make and keep your own town! Construct buildings, make roads and paths, cut, colour and create each building and put them into your town layout! Take home your town and add Lego®, Matchbox cars, figurines and more! All materials are supplied and participants will take home the towns the make to expand, make further buildings and perhaps even a whole city!

Make Cardboard Creations | Time: 15.00-16.00 | Ages: 6+
Join us and make a bridge from cardboard. Each participant can take home their buildings, materials and tools to re-use for other projects! The tools used are called “Scrus” and can simply be “unscrued” to be used for other cardboard projects.
