Makerspace: 1st Sunday
2026-10-04 14:00 - 16:00 | Germantown Library Makerspace, 31 Palatine Park Rd, Germantown, NY, 12526, United States
Makerspace Open House — come make with us!
We meet the 1st and 3rd Sunday of the month from 2 – 4 pm.
Follow our theme or explore our materials to make something on your own! Using our tools and your imagination, create or reuse anything you can think of into something new!
Here’s what you’ll find at the Makerspace:

Tech: Our computers, Raspberry Pi, and Arduino selection enable anyone to pursue their passion for building circuits and writing code. You can even bring in old electronics, take them apart and build something new!
Media: Want to try your hand at photo or video editing? How about writing your own script and making costumes and props to perform with? The sky is the limit with your creativity!
Art: Explore, discover & create with a variety of materials from the basics like paper, duck tape and scissors to experimenting with tools like our Ellison die-cut machine, Crayola Air Marker Sprayers, light box tracing, and sewing machines.
Skill Development: Become part of our maker community, sharing ideas and skills with other “makers”. Whether attending one of our programs or coming in during unstructured open hours to tinker, you never know when an idea will spark or when you might provide the inspiration for other makers!
