Johnson County Park & Rec Makerspace Programs

The Johnson County Park & Rec Makerspace Programs offer a comprehensive educational experience tailored for homeschool students. Located in the Johnson County Arts and Heritage Center, these programs provide a dynamic eleven-week series focusing on making and engineering. Students engage in activities that encompass art, science, design, and engineering, learning to build machines and explore practical applications of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) concepts. The program emphasizes hands-on learning, new tools and technologies, and encourages creative problem-solving through mechanics, electronics, and digital fabrication projects. It's designed to enrich the homeschool educational experience by allowing students to explore the entire design process, from ideation to final product, while focusing on iterative design.
