Whether you’re behind a camera, creating a design, or learning to fly a drone, there’s more than one way to explore technology at The Bean Path. Our hands-on classes give you space to try something different, build new skills, and bring your ideas to life.

In 2018, The Bean Path began connecting our community with technology through local libraries. Eight years later, that work has grown into hands-on learning, creative spaces, youth programs, and opportunities for people of all ages to explore what’s possible.
Behind every milestone are the people who showed up—the volunteers who shared their time, the learners who tried something new, and the neighbors who believed in what we could build together. Whether you’ve been here since the beginning or just walked through our doors, you’re part of this story.
People. Pathways. Possibilities. Eight years rooted in Jackson, and we’re still growing. 🙌
Swipe through the moments that helped shape The Bean Path, then join us October 19–24 for our 8th Anniversary Week. Let’s celebrate how far we’ve come and what’s next, together!
