This Month's Monthly Make-It

Water Bottle Rocket Launcher

Parts and Crafts is a member-supported, 501(c)(3) family makerspace and community workshop based in Somerville, MA.  

In our programs we encourage kids to play, think, make, and learn through the exploration of the arts, science, computer programming, and engineering –  a cluster of disciplines we refer to as “the creative application of technical skills.”  

We run school-vacation camps, a full-time school-alternative program, and afterschool and weekend classes and workshops, open-shop hours and other community and family events.
