Teach a Workshop
MakeHaven is seeking instructors to design and lead workshops about making at MakeHaven. MakeHaven has a large community of people interested in learning about: mechanics, electronics, crafts, art, design, programming, cooking, biology, chemistry, fabrication, metal working and woodworking. For approved workshops MakeHaven will host, help promote the event and handle collection of workshop fees. As a makerspace MakeHaven is a more dynamic environment than a typical classroom and members might be using the space concurrently with a workshop.
Information on how workshops are organized and managed can be found HERE.
The first step of instructing at MakeHaven is to submit an interest form.
