Take your kids to a Maker Faire and get them interested in robotics, amateur rockets, rapid prototyping. In other words, CREATING THINGS!

Easy to build models for science, industrial arts, physics & math students. Our projects have been successful for thousands of young adults interested in building technical projects with inexpensive materials and minimum tools.
Grade school, middle school, high school and universities can all apply these projects into current curriculum to help increase student interest.
Cub scouts, Boy scouts, after school programs and engineering clubs, have all used our projects to keep young minds interested in their respective programs. Our projects are based on using simple tools and extremely inexpensive materials to create stimulating projects such as hovercrafts, rockets, air cars, airplanes, paddle boats, sail boats, spin copters and water rockets.
We have tickets for Saturday! We LOVE the Maker Faire! Last year my younger daughter would have spent the entire time in the Maker Tent soldering if she hadn’t been so excited to see the Iron Mongers pour into their molds. (we did miss the Diet Coke and Mentos though)
I have to remember to bring more cash this year.....
