What is Cache Makers?
Cache Makers hosts a multitude of volunteer-led youth groups focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. Joining Cache Makers 4-H club and signing up for a group is a great way to start learning interesting things, continue learning about something you are already interested in, or meet like-minded individuals.
What is a Makerspace?
A Makerspace is a community-operated, non-profit workspace. Here, people with common interests (computers, machining, technology, science, digital art), can meet, socialize, and collaborate with the maker mindset of creating something out of nothing and exploring your own interests.

What We Offer
Cachemakers offers classes, clubs, and events on the following topics. Click on a topic of interest to get more information.
This game encourages problem solving. You need to use your imagination to solve any problem, you need to ask yourself and your team how to overcome any obstacle! DnD can be such a great way for kids to interact with each other without the use of screens and is a great opportunity for collaboration.
For more information on why you should consider having your child participate in one of our D&D Classes check out what scientists and teachers are saying about D&D.
Computer programming is writing a group of instructions for a computer to process/execute. These instructions are typically used to solve a problem, or, to make larger problems shorter and easier to solve. In our Cache Makers 4-H Computer Programing classes we teach everything from learning how to code simple Arduino's to raspberry PI.
We also teach students how to use existing computer programs to create videos, edit, put pictures together, how to use tinker cad, as well as other programs to operate 3D printers, CNC, laser cutters, and a whole host of other exciting and fun programs.
In many of our classes at Cache Makers we use components that require soldering. Soldering process is used in the electronics industry to bond components together, forming one or more electrical connections. Soldering serves two functions: mechanical support—holding components of an assembly together, and electrical support—forming required electrical connections within a circuit
Sewing is just one of many practical Stem Activities that we offer at Cache Makers 4-H Makerspace. Sewing helps you develop fine motor skills, improves your focus and concentration and teaches the importance of patience and self-control. Knowing personal boundaries, increasing skill, achieving tangible goals while working outside your comfort zone all support the development of confidence and self-esteem. Sewing, e-textiles, cross-stitching-crocheting are packed full of patterns, math, engineering and art as well as different form of technology to create beautiful designs.
March Challenge
We want to see your creative engineering skills!
For the month of March we are looking to Saint Patty for inspiration. Your challenge is to engineer a Leprechaun Trap and share it with us on social media. Be sure to tag 4-H and Cache Makers in your social media posts!
According to Irish Lore, a leprechaun is a fairy that enjoys partaking in mischief. They are said to be very rich and to hide their gold in secret locations. How would you trap a leprechaun?
All entries will receive a St. Patrick's Day treat, so get your entries in soon!
Please tell us about your project with the name of the youth who created the trap, a brief description, and upload a picture or video of your Leprechaun trap to us via Zsuite. All submissions must be original creations!
Special attention will be given to our contestant entries who capture a leprechaun!
Have fun with this and just get creative!
Submissions due by Sunday, March 31st.
May the Fourth Challenge

For our May challenge we are looking to the galaxies for inspiration. Your challenge is to make a Star Wars themed STEAM project and share it with us. Light us up with circuits, try a Jedi build with Legos, code a SCENE in SCRATCH, make a stop motion animation, or try a DIY lightsaber build. You can even build your own ‘Star Wars or Future’ themed Tech or STEAM design.
Tell us about your project with a brief description and share a picture or video submission with us through 4H.Zsuite.org
All submissions must be original creations! Participants may submit more than one entry.
Contestants of all ages are welcome, and you do NOT need to be in 4-H to enter this contest!
Contest participants will be notified by email if their submission is selected. Upload a photo or video of your ‘Star Wars or Future’ themed creation to us.
You are also encouraged to post your project to social media (not required).
