Deck The Halls & Tech Out Your Holidays

Who says the holidays can’t be high tech? Do Space is hosting several fun, free events for the Omaha metro community throughout the holiday season to learn practical applications of technology in everyday life – from gift wrapping to learning to use a new device to entertaining the kids on break.

Come warm up at Do Space with a cup of coffee and our free gigabit of bandwidth, and consider bringing the family to one of the following events!

• Big Littles Lab: From Scientific Method to Holiday Ornament | Wednesdays in December, 4:30 to 5:30 p.m.
  This month we’ll use the scientific method to make a holiday ornament. Each student will learn the steps of the scientific method and be able to demonstrate it. This class is designed for 6-8 year olds and their parents/guardians. This class will consist of the same content for every Wednesday in December. REGISTER
