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

New for Spring! Sunday session from 12pm-6pm

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.
