Learn. Make. Connect.

Learn the fundamentals of TIG (GTAW) welding in this hands-on half-day session. You'll cover arc starting, torch control, filler rod technique, and welding aluminium and stainless steel. All PPE and materials provided — no experience needed.

Design, fabricate and race your very own model car in this hands-on engineering challenge. Participants will use 3D printing, vacuum forming and laser marking to build a custom vehicle from scratch — then race it against the other builds to see whose design comes out on top. No experience needed, just bring your competitive spirit.

A practical introduction to FDM 3D printing. From slicing your first model in Bambu Studio to removing supports and post-processing your print. You'll leave with a finished print and the knowledge to book solo machine time.

Get confident with the laser cutter — covering material selection, file prep in LightBurn, power/speed settings, and safe operation. Cut and engrave your own project to take home.

A full-day course covering CAD/CAM workflow, tool selection, fixturing, and running your first CNC job from start to finish. Suitable for woodworkers, product designers, and anyone wanting to move from hand tools to CNC production.

Monthly drop-in evening for the Makeology community. Share what you've been building, get feedback, swap skills and materials, and meet fellow makers over coffee. Completely free — just show up.

A bespoke full-day STEM experience for school groups (KS3–KS4). Students rotate through laser cutting, 3D printing, and basic electronics stations, each with a structured mini-project. Fully supervised, curriculum-linked, and designed to inspire the next generation of engineers. Can be tailored to your topic or learning objective — get in touch to design your day.

Show off what you've made! An open evening for members and the public to exhibit their projects, from furniture and sculpture to electronics and prototypes. Judged by a panel of local designers and engineers, with prizes for Best Build, Most Creative, and Best Junior Maker.
