Drop-Ins
Maker stations, simple science, circuits, LEGO builds and technology help.
Big Rapids + surrounding communities
A community learning and technology space is taking shape.
Mecosta County Kids has occasionally dabbled in hands-on learning through STEAM in the Park activities and community work with the City of Big Rapids. Those small experiences, together with Untrained Momentum's technology and training work, have made one need increasingly clear: our area needs more practical, affordable ways for kids, teens, adults, and local employers to keep learning as technology changes.
We are gauging interest now and looking for local spaces where classes and clubs can be hosted while we work toward a permanent location of our own.
