Wecome to The MILL

The MILL is a collaborative and community-led teacher innovation learning workspace that centers cooperative pedagogy around STEAM education.

Equipped with a wide range of tools and technologies, The MILL offers educators a space to explore new concepts, experiment with equipment, and engage in hands-on professional development. The space supports everything from creating classroom assets and repairing materials to skill-sharing, Open Education Resource (OER) development, and peer-led learning.

Some things you will find for educator use in The MILL include, but are not limited to:

  • Bambu Labs A1 3D printers
  • XTool Laser cutters
  • CNC Embroidery and sewing machines
  • Screenprinting equipment 
  • Podcast and video production technology
  • Woodworking tools and machinery 

The MILL is open to educators for collaboration, design, prototyping, networking, and hands-on learning. Educator-led sessions on tools, techniques, or pedagogy are strongly encouraged. If you have a STEAM project, teaching strategy, or skill you'd like to share with fellow educators in the Linn-Benton area, please contact Sarah Whiteside to schedule a session.
