Maker Nexus Youth Camps

Intensive 3-hour, 1-day, and 4 to 5-Day Experiences 

We offer a variety of camps of different lengths for a range of age groups. Our camps are typically offered during school holiday breaks and summer, but we are able to customize camp experiences for youth outside the break schedule. Just email us with your request details and we will work with you to build a camp to your needs. 

 

Each class takes place in our 28,000 square foot makerspace in Sunnyvale, CA.
