Lightsaber Construction Camp: N.J. Science Center Offers 3-D Workshop

JERSEY CITY, NJ — Only a foolish Jedi would walk into combat empty-handed. But don’t worry. The Liberty Science Center crew can show you how to create your very own lightsaber.

On Saturday, Jan. 28, the Liberty Science Center (LSC) in Jersey City will host the first of a three-part series called “MakerLab: Saber Construction Camp” from 10 a.m. to noon. During the workshops, participants can learn to design and 3D-print their own custom lightsaber… which they can then take home.

The workshop is open to adults and “young Padawans starting at age 10,” according to the LSC.

The three-class series will take place on Jan. 28, Feb. 4 and Feb. 11 from 10 am to noon. The fee of $150 per participant includes all three classes. Learn more here and book a spot by calling 201-253-1310, but be quick; availability is “extremely limited.”
