The Benito Library and MakerSpace offers after school programs focused on 3D printing, computer coding, electronics, and robotics using equipment like a MakerBot Replicator Mini, Autodesk Project Ignite, LEGO Mindstorms, and Raspberry Pi. In its first year from 2014-2015 it had 40-60 students per week participating in MakerSpace meetings to learn skills or work on independent projects, culminating in its own MakerFaire. It is now starting its second year and looking to build on the success of the first year.
