All the fun of a Techsplorers summer camp in one exciting day! Weekend Workshops run throughout the fall and spring and are located at the Montessori School of Raleigh (MSR) Lower Campus and at Fayetteville Christian School (FCS). Class descriptions are provided below the schedule. We are proud to partner with Girl Scouts to offer multiple workshops that can be completed to obtain Girl Scout badges. However, students do not have to be in Girl Scouts to participate in these workshops – engineering is for everyone!
Want to take one of our classes but the scheduled dates don't work for you? We are happy to create custom workshops! For more information about custom workshops and events contact Bianca McGhee at bmcghee@techsplorers.com.
Please do not wait until the last minute to register. Workshops with low enrollments are generally canceled 2 to 3 weeks in advance to give any registered individuals time to makes changes to their plans. If you are interested in a class but currently unsure if it may conflict with your schedule, the best way to tentatively reserve a seat and let us know of your interest is to fill out the provided registration form but skip the payment process. As the workshop gets closer, we will contact anyone on the roster who has not paid yet before making any final cancellation decisions.
