## About the Lab

The EDGE Lab, a part of Helix's [CTE EDGE](https://www.helixcharter.net/domain/24) program, is a classroom makerspace where all students (and staff!) are encouraged to explore, create, and tinker! Check out our [**project gallery**](https://www.helixedgelab.org/overview/project-gallery) to see some of the things students have made in the lab, and get started making with our [**easy-to-use tutorials**](https://www.helixedgelab.org/getting-started/tutorials-how-to)!

The maker lab is, primarily, a do-it-yourself space. We encourage you to use our [**self-guided tutorials**](https://www.helixedgelab.org/getting-started/tutorials-how-to) to learn how to make items and use the [**EDGE Lab equipment**](https://www.helixedgelab.org/overview/equipment)**.**&#x20;

During ASPIRE hours, all making is FREE! During the school day, we charge for the cost of supplies. Pricing information can be found [**here**](https://www.helixedgelab.org/overview/pricing)**.**&#x20;
