Program Description
Event Details
Take the first steps into designing graphics for laser cutting. Using Inkscape, a free vector graphics software, we will create custom project designs to engrave and cut on 1/8" wood pieces. No previous experience is required, and all materials will be provided. Ages 13 – 18.
After completing this badging class, you will be able to use the laser cutters on your own during open hours at makerspaces at East and Sand Creek libraries, as well as Library 21c (reservations recommended). If you are unable to attend this badging class or would prefer not to attend in person, a virtual badging option is available.
This class is only for teens ages 13 – 18, however we have Inkscape & laser badging classes for ages 9 and up as well. You can find other Inkscape classes for tweens, adults, and seniors at all three makerspaces.
Participants will need to have a makerspace waiver signed by an adult guardian in order to attend this class or use the makerspace. The signer must be present and show an ID for the waiver but does not need to stay for the class.
All participants must have their own library card. Please contact one of the makerspaces for more information.
