Unlock Your Child’s Creative Potential After School!

At Juice Works 3D, we believe after-school time should spark curiosity, creativity, and real-world skills. Our Future Innovators Lab offers a hands-on, project-based pathway where students progress from beginner-friendly exploration to advanced, self-directed innovation — all in a fun, supportive environment.


Our 3 Levels of Learning

1. Explorer – Beginner-Friendly Rotations

  • Format: 3-week “track” sessions for new students, one technology focus per track, small-group, coach-led sessions
  • Tracks Include: Game Design, 3D Printing, Robotics, CNC Milling, AI
  • Ages: 8+
  • Cost: $70 (three, 1hr/wk classes)
  • Pick Your Day: Mon,Tues,Thur options
  • Goal: Build confidence and creativity through hands-on, coach-led projects
  • Special Offer: Complete more than one Explorer track and get 10% off each additional track

2. Creator – Guided Skill Expansion

  • For students who’ve completed at least one Explorer track
  • Format:Small-group, coach-led sessions that expand technical skills, picking up where you left of in Explorer
  • Tracks Include: Game Design, 3D Printing, Robotics, CNC Milling, AI
  • Ages: 8+
  • Cost: $195 (nine, 1hr/wk classes) Payment plan option available.
  • Schedule: Fridays only. Fall cohort begins October 10
  • Goal: Strengthen abilities, tackle more complex builds, and prepare for Innovator Lab

3. Innovator Lab – Advanced & Self-Directed

  • For self-motivated students ready to take the lead on advanced builds, design challenges, and entrepreneurship
  • Access to professional-grade software, fabrication tools, and expert coaching
  • Typically ages 10+ (younger considered with proven skill mastery)
  • Schedule:
    • Thursdays, 3:45–5:15 PM – High-energy collaboration
    • Fridays, 3:45–5:15 PM – Smaller group, focused project time
  • Membership Options:
    • 1 Day/Week – $125/month
    • 2 Days/Week – $210/month
  • Why Thursdays Rock: A large, collaborative group creates the perfect environment for inspiration and accelerated progress. Fridays offer a quieter space to refine skills and advance projects.
