RHPL's Eureka Lab is a makerspace for everyone. Makerspaces are where people create DIY projects, invent, and share ideas. Whether you like sewing, 3D printing, cutting materials for crafts, or need a suite of software to make your latest graphic design come to life, RHPL's Eureka Lab offers a variety of equipment to people of all ages. Eureka Lab materials and equipment are free to use during RHPL-sponsored programs. Patrons using the lab on their own are required to incur nominal material fees. An RHPL card is not required to use the Eureka Lab.
The online resources and classes offered below were selected by RHPL's Eureka Lab specialist.
