LaunchSpace

Teen Open Hack is a casual monthly drop-in event held in our 13,000 sq foot makerspace in Orange, MA. We aim to foster a welcoming, inclusive and sensitive space for teens to hang out and explore the joy of making together. Each month will feature a new shop or media to explore and we'll playfully work to see the possibilities of materials. At LaunchSpace we like to highlight the process instead of the product and encourage using materials in unconventional ways. T﻿his Open Hack series is designed for teens ages 13 to 17. Open Hack is free through the generous sponsorship of the Orange Cultural Council, Athol Cultural Council, Petersham Cultural Council, Phillipston Cultural Council, Wendell Cultural Council, Warwick Cultural Council, Erving Cultural Council, New Salem Cultural Council, and the Massachusetts Cultural Council. We are grateful to our partners for their support of our local teen community.Drop-in's are welcome, but if possible, ﻿we ask that people register ahead of time to help with planning and paperwork for parents.
