All Tracks

What are tracks?

Tracks are focused series of classes designed to help you master a specific tool, explore all the tools in an area, or complete a unique project. Plus, each track comes with a free month of membership!

Should I take a track instead of the individual classes?

It’s up to you! Tracks:

  • Are cost-effective and collaborative — tracks include membership, saving you money if you're planning to take all the individual classes. You also get to work with the same group of classmates week to week and learn together.

  • Have organized multi-session instruction — since each session builds on the last, you receive a more cohesive learning experience compared to scattered classes.

  • Promote consistent, spaced learning — by coming in multiple times over the span of a month, you'll retain information better and get more comfortable with the space and tools. It's a great way to build confidence while working on hands-on projects!

However, if you only need to learn one or two specific tools, we recommend taking the individual classes for those.

No experience or prerequisites required for any track. Ages 13-15 can attend alongside a guardian, while 16+ can attend solo.
