It’s been fun getting back into youth programming at The Space. This summer we’re running Space Lab, a low-key open-studio style Thursday with both morning and afternoon sessions. Yesterday the kids broke out the marble runs, magnetic building tiles, Bloxels (video game design), TinkerCAD (3D modeling), and dose of Minecraft Education. #community #youthstem 

Summer always means an uptick in membership and events. I took advantage of the full house to snap some fun pics of members, youth Space Lab participants, and Space Social film screening. Tonight we host our Civics Supper Club and tomorrow we have Member & Friends Karaoke. It’s a full weekend of community and events! If you’d like to join The Space On Main, we’re always accepting new members, including sustaining members who don’t need a space to work, but enjoy supporting our work and participating in member events. #community #remotework #coworkvt #coworking
