Aviation Makerspace & Community STEM Center
Aviation Makerspace
Robot Garden, the sponsor for the Aviation Explorer Post/Club, is working to set up an Aviation Makerspace so that our youth members can "make". We have our own hangar space with a number of tools & activities available. But, with help from Five Rivers Aviation, the local FBO at Livermore Airport, we now have 3D printers and a CNC router in operation. We will be teaching the youth how to use them in the weeks to come.

Community STEM Center
Robot Garden is also working with the local aviation community to create a Community STEM Center for youth. Robot Garden is working to make space available for multiple aviation & aerospace groups to work together and encourage youth to pursue careers in aviation, aerospace and other STEM fields.
The goal is to bring together multiple existing hobby groups, aviation groups, and other STEM programs. By working together these groups can share resources, ideas, skill sets and expertise to broaden their reach to area youth. The groups being brought together are:
