Kawartha Lakes Makerspace
STEAM Education, Activities & Camps
Pinnguaq’s Makerspace in Lindsay is the hub for STEAM education, summer camps, after school programs and more in the Kawartha Lakes.
It’s filled with robots, maker kits, oozing oobleck, Minecraft marvels and some of the best STEAM educators in Canada. It’s also a community hub where people of all ages can learn about and embrace the power that STEAM creates, in their own lives, in their own way.
Why do we have a Makerspace? And why is it in Lindsay?
Well… why not? We believe that rural, remote and Indigenous communities should have the same access to world-class technology and education that those in urban centres enjoy. Geography shouldn’t be a barrier, and curiosity should be the only requirement.
Makerspace Activities and Education Opportunities
STEAM Discovery Days
Saturday Drop-In, Year Round
It’s not a class, it’s an adventure — stop by the Makerspace on Saturdays throughout the year and discover science, technology, engineering, art and math experiences for youth aged 6–13. Parents are welcome to stay and play or drop kids off (dependent upon volume of attendees). It’s a different experience, and a different FUN activity every week!
STEAM Skill Builds
After School Programming
Youth aged 6–13 can launch rockets, create video games, program robots to clean their rooms and conduct scientific experiments that may or may not involve things exploding. STEAM Skill Builds are held on the same day each week, typically for five weeks, and last for 90 minutes each. Participants develop new science, technology, engineering, art or math skills, within their area of interest.
STEAM Creator Camps
Summer Programming, Winter Programming
Build knowledge, friendships and a HECK of a lot more — with Pinnguaq! Our STEAM Creator Camps bring learning to life for youth ages 6-13. Each camp has its own theme, from engineering, to arts and science to game development. Unlock your child’s imagination (and inner mad scientist).
