Personal Finance & Home Budgeting
with Tina Goodman
Money stress is common—but it doesn’t have to be permanent.
This free, one-hour class is designed for adults who want simple, practical tools to better manage their money, reduce financial stress, and feel more confident about everyday financial decisions. You don’t need a background in finance, and you don’t need to have everything figured out—just a willingness to start where you are.
We’ll talk honestly about personal responsibility and smart decision-making without judgment or jargon. Topics include building a realistic household budget, understanding where your money actually goes, breaking the cycle of credit card debt, saving for the future, and developing habits that support long-term financial stability. The focus is on common-sense strategies you can apply immediately.
This is not a sales pitch and not an advanced investing course. It’s a practical, down-to-earth conversation about money—how to use it intentionally, how to avoid common traps, and how small changes can lead to real progress over time.

UACCB Maker Camp
with Scott Phillips
Where young makers turn ideas into real products.
Register today because this class is limited to only 15 students!
UACCB Maker Camp is a hands-on, youth-focused experience that blends making, manufacturing, and entrepreneurship. Students design, prototype, make, and market real products while learning how ideas become tangible, sellable goods.
Enrollment is open for children who are entering grades 5th through 8th Grade in the Fall of 2026.
For this year’s camp, and because Batesville is the Christmas Capital of Arkansas, participants will create laser-cut wooden Christmas ornaments!
Participants explore the full product-development process—from brainstorming ornament ideas and digital design to laser cutting, material testing, and branding. Campers work primarily with locally grown and milled wood, including eastern red cedar and red oak, learning how material properties such as thickness, strength, and durability influence design and manufacturing decisions.
Through guided, age-appropriate activities, students use precision tools like calipers, conduct simple material science experiments, and operate an industrial-grade BOSS LS3655 laser engraver/cutter in a supervised environment.
On the final day of camp, students tour a local manufacturing facility and celebrate their accomplishments with a Christmas in July party.
Beyond technical skills, UACCB Maker Camp emphasizes entrepreneurship and teamwork. Campers learn to calculate costs and collaborate to prepare products for sale, gaining insight into how creative ideas turn into sustainable ventures. Proceeds from product sales help fund scholarships for future UACCB youth programs, connecting student creativity to real community impact.
Designed for curious and creative students, UACCB Maker Camp combines engineering, design thinking, and business fundamentals into an engaging, project-based experience rooted in hands-on learning.
