Weatherization 101
Makers,
This time of year we measure home heating leaks by both the temperature and the wallet. Join the nonprofits COVER and Claremont Makerspace for a day on weatherization education. Weatherization 101 will start with a classroom session covering topics including basic building science, basic materials and tools and DIY weatherization techniques. Do you have specific questions about your home? Bring them and have the professionals from COVER provide the answer.
Part two of our day will include an on-site visit at a Claremont residence to practice techniques and learn more. Topics covered will include an initial walk through of house to identify key areas, a blower-door test, exploring with infrared camera and weatherizing!
Registration for this event is free. Weatherization 101 happens this Saturday, December 14th starting at 10 am. Please register in advance here.
Reminder! Our Open House is this Friday, December 13th at 6 PM! Please RSVP here.

Introduction to Schematic Capture and Circuit Board Design with KiCAD
Thursdays January 9th – January 30th, 6 – 8 PM
This course will introduce you to KiCAD, a free and open-source design suite for electronic design. KiCAD allows you to enter an electronic schematic into your computer and then use that schematic to design a printed circuit board. We will take you through example designs so you can see the process from one end to the other and be able to go on to design your own circuit boards.
The Color Wheel (For Ages 8 – 12)
Thursday’s January 23rd – February 27th, 3 – 5 PM
Ready to master color? In this six week after school program, students will use a variety of mediums to better understand the use of color in art. Over the course of the class students will use paint, clay, water colors to master primary, secondary and tertiary colors. Each week will focus on a new lesson and medium in which to make and take home completed projects.
We’ve got even more classes/events on the calendar, so check out the full line up HERE.
