Programs at The Reno Generator
The Reno Generator offers hands-on creative, educational, and skill-building programs for makers, artists, and families throughout Northern Nevada. In addition to providing our own tool safety training, equipment check-off classes, workshops, and youth programs, we also encourage members of our community to share their knowledge and experience by teaching classes through The Generator.
This community-driven approach greatly expands the diversity of learning opportunities available while creating new ways for local makers, artists, and educators to support themselves through teaching and mentorship.
Do you have a skill, craft, or area of expertise you’d like to share with the community? We welcome community-led workshops and classes. Learn more about teaching opportunities here.
