Hands-on professional development that sends teachers home with materials, ideas and a certificate.
RAFT is not running open-enrollment workshops at the moment. Workshops for a school, district or group can still be arranged directly.
Email workshops@raft.net or call 408-451-1421 to talk about dates.
RAFT runs hands-on badge workshops for Daisies and Brownies at the San Jose facility, one Sunday a month from October 2026 through May 2027, 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. Troop leaders do not have to prepare anything.
There is no February session.
$35 per Girl Scout. Each session runs 90 minutes and is limited to 20 Girl Scouts. The price covers the RAFT STEAM kit to take home, a “Girls in Science @ RAFT” fun patch, and a one-year adult RAFT membership per signup, or 25% off RAFT Store shopping that day for existing members.
Registration and payment are handled by Cheddar Up.
Workshops are hands-on and built to produce something usable in a real classroom, not a lecture about STEAM. RAFT tailors them to a school or district, whether that is a multi-year district-wide initiative or a small pilot.
At RAFT or at your site. Open to RAFT members, plus sessions designed specifically for a partnering school, group or organization.
Hands-on activities run in a distance-learning setting, for small and large groups, modelling how to do the same in your own virtual lessons.
Held at your site. RAFT ships the materials in advance and facilitates the session virtually.
A series for members, individually or in small groups, learning to use the laser cutter, 3D printer and other equipment in the Lab.
Participants leave with ideas, resources and a professional development certificate confirming the number of training hours completed.
Professional development access is one of the things a RAFT membership includes, alongside store purchasing and the Educator Lab.
