Matt was very helpful from start to finish. My son wanted some figures made and they came out exactly like the picture. His prices are also very affordable. We will be back!
I love the Makers Lab, because it is so unique and very fun. In The Makers Lab, you can do all kinds of cool experiments and make many kinds of cool things. The Makers Lab has many cool things you can look at and play with. You can play with the things that Matt and Ms. Lisa printed on the 3d printer, or you can play with the different electronics. For example I like to play with the keyboard clickers that were 3d printed, and I like to look at the 3d printer as it works and prints out the things that you ask for. You can also make arts and crafts and science experiments. You can craft many things out of paper or you could make flow paintings or slime, borax crystals, and oobleck. I really like flow paintings because every time you make one it is different, your flow painting can never be the same and that's what makes them so special, and you you never need to worry that it won't be perfect because it's going to be random and every time it always comes out pretty and unique. Today I made oobleck, it was fun and quick, but very messy which is why it is so fun to play with, it is solid when you move quickly with it but once you stop and let it sit on your hand it becomes liquid. Lastly, the two best parts about The Makers Lab is how in The Makers Lab there is always food, and personally I really love eating and eating all the snacks. But that's not the funnest thing about The Makers Lab, the funnest thing was once turning Matt into a sparkly unicorn! When it was me and my sisters birthday we had a party there and we were all drawing with face paint and Matt let us paint his face too, we even put glitter and he still wasn't mad at us. It's a good thing to know that Matt has patience. In conclusion you should go to The Makers Lab because it is so amazing and cool. Mine is the longest review by the way. :)
The best place for kids (and adults!) Matt is super creative and the kids are able to experiment with all kinds of fun technology, art and games. Would highly recommend!
I love the Makers Lab. It is where I learned to 3D print and laser cut. It developed my interest in mechanics and is really cool. It lets your imagination go wild - M (age 11).
The Makers Lab is a wonderful place where kids can make whatever they have in their mind become a real thing. And Matt (the person who teaches us 3-D printing) is super super nice. —L (age 10)
