Making with Pride: 3D Printing Workshop

Tour the Lacey Makerspace, learn about what our space and machines have to offer (5-6 pm), and take part in a 3D printing 101 workshop (6-7:30 pm) which will cover how a 3D printer works, what kinds of things you can make with one, the printing services Lacey makerspace has to offer, and how you can make something of your own with 3D printing technology.

Making with Pride events are open to all, but center and welcome our LGBT+ community members in recognition that shop and technology spaces are not always welcoming to people of diverse sexualities and gender expressions. Please come as your whole and authentic self and learn about cool tools with us!
