Open Maker Session Registration
The Makery @ Boxyard RTP is a maker space geared toward upper elementary aged children, tweens, teens, and adults.
Two Open Maker Sessions are available each day, Tuesday-Saturday, 11am-2pm & 3pm-7pm
Operational Notice: Both Makery sessions have been cancelled for Saturday, Jan. 31, due to winter weather. Please note that the next available session is currently on Tuesday, Feb. 3. See our website for additional updates.
Join us any time within the session block for one of our two maker experiences:
Maker’s Choice
Come and bring your own materials to work on a project in our well-equipped maker space or create freely using the variety of materials, tools, and equipment we have to offer--including recycled materials, art supplies, tools, and making machines. You will also have access to our very experienced and talented Makery staff to ask questions or provide support if you want to try your hand at something new!
Maker’s Project
Purchase a prepared maker kit and work on the project in our maker space with access to additional materials or assistance from our trained Makery staff. You can expect to complete the project in one session and take it home with you! Kits are subject to availability, may change weekly, and price dependent.
February Maker's Project: Make a wish and place it in a little heart-shaped box, specially decorated and designed by you!
