We had a fun September! Here's what happened and what's up next:

SEPTEMBER We hosted a make-it-take-it over Labor Day weekend and hosted new-to-Launchpad kiddos, some returners from camp, and some crewmembers. Everyone designed a pencil box in Illustrator, sliced it in Lightburn and then cut it on our 150W laser. It was so fun!

FUNDRAISING and HIRING Between grants and unsolicited donations, we've raised $35k this past month and we are hiring. We are acutely in need of a super nerd who is a self-starter and knows -- or can very quickly learn -- the equipment and tools we have. If this is you or someone you know,

PLEASE CONNECT WITH US.

UPCOMING EVENTS During DISD's upcoming Fall Break, we’re hosting 3 different make-it-take-its (We'll make coasters on Thursday, picture frames on Friday and personalize water bottles on Monday). During the Saturday and Sunday, we'll host open lab hours so participants can spend more time on the tools. See all the details below! And, as always, if cost is prohibitive, please reach out: we are a nonprofit for nerdy kids, and we can figure something out.
