Crochet Makers Club: Level 1 Program Schedule: Aug. 21-Oct. 9 This class will meet weekly on Fridays from 3-4 p.m. Recommended Ages: 5th-12th grades Cost: $120 (Members), $140 (Nonmembers) Crochet Makers Club is a fun, beginner-friendly enrichment experience for students who want to learn a new creative skill. Over the course of four levels, students will explore the basics of crochet, from mastering foundational stitches to completing their own finished projects. No experience is needed to take this class, and all materials are provided. Each session is hands-on and low-pressure, and the instruction is designed to build confidence and creativity. Students will not only leave with new skills, but they will have tangible, handmade projects they can be proud of and a community of fellow makers by their side. Meet the program instructor: Jess Newsom Ms. Jess founded Inventors Lab to share her love and passion for working with students of all ages and backgrounds to develop their skills in STEM-related topics. Jess graduated with her B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Cal Poly Pomona where she also was actively involved in creating interactive labs in virtual reality (VR) for the biology department, competing with the Human-Powered Vehicle project team and hosting workshops on how to create aquaponics systems. She has spent the last nine years teaching K-12 robotics while running a center in California, and she has coached VEX Robotics competition teams at the middle school and high school levels. Outside of STEM-related activities, she spends her time in her workshop creating art, developing her own video games, crocheting cute animals, knitting garments and reading. Jess is passionate about sharing her knowledge with others and inspiring them to be creative and tackle cool projects.
