What is the Franklin Center For Innovation?
FCFI is a collaborative community where Makers, Entrepreneurs, Families, Individuals, and Children will learn new skills, start a business, be entertained, and build a culture of making new and innovative things. It's a MAKERSPACE!
FCFI is an approved 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We are a community oriented public workshop where people can meet and work on their projects. We will provide a facility that is open 10 AM to 8 PM, 6 days a week (with plans to eventually be open 24/7) to all members. FCFI is a place where you can get messy, be loud, and make whatever comes to your mind. We are open to the public every Tuesday at 6pm.
OUR mission is to encourage people to make. We strive to see people discuss and build their dreams. Our goal is to promote STEAM education, open source values, and skill sharing among our members, industry, and the community.
Our community is a diverse collection of makers and teachers of all types. Electronic art enthusiasts, sewers, machinists, engineers, college professors, boy scout troop leaders and on and on. We aim to foster making and innovation in every area imaginable
STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math. Though it seems like a compilation of five academic fields, it is really an educational approach to teaching and learning STEM subjects through the arts. Basically, it intentionally integrates academic studies with arts disciplines.
We will offer after school, evening, and weekend classes on the following subjects.
Lasers, Light, and Quantum Mechanics - Projectile motion - Drones - Graphic Art
First Aid+CPR - Tabletop Games - Astronomy - Garden to Table - Woodworking - PLUS MORE
We will also work with local scout troops on merit badges
