There are also the votech schools to consider (Berks career technology center, Muhlenberg votech). Goggleworks is pretty filled right now, though they might want to do some sort of cross membership (they already have a full wood shop) with a makerspace. Nothing against RACC either, just trying to throw out more options of places I know about.
