Afterschool & Select Weekends

Programs at The Foundry support computer- assisted-design and making in all four of our makerspaces. Thanks to grant-funding, student groups from Buffalo neighborhoods join us for afterschool classes. Offerings combine art, computing & craft or STEAM (Science,Technology, Engineering, Art and Math).

Workforce Development Day Programs

Partnering with local schools and agencies, we offer day programs that equip students to build projects for the community. Students explore exciting areas for future career opportunities or fulfill Career Development & Occupational Studies (CDOS) requirements.
