Haunted House Project

Due Date:  October 15th, 2016

Challenge:  Foothill’s Haunted House needs new things to see.  Can you make something for our Haunted House?

We will put your creation in our Haunted House for everyone to see on October 22nd!

Rules:  No fire!  No fog machines.  Make sure what you build is safe.  You can ask a MakerSpace volunteer to be sure.

Resources:  Here is what we’ll have in the MakerSpace on Thursday, September 15th, from 4-7pm.  If you want some other materials, you can bring them!  Just stop by our volunteers with your materials so that we can see if there are any safety considerations.
