The Makery Project brings accessible, hands-on STEAM and maker-centered learning to youth, families, and educators in our community. Because every child deserves the chance to create, explore, and innovate.
Empowering the next generation of creators, thinkers, and innovators
The Makery Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing accessible, hands-on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) and maker-centered learning opportunities for youth, families, and educators.
Through our mobile makerspace programs and educational initiatives, we bring the power of making directly to communities that need it most. We believe that when young people learn to create with their hands and minds, they develop critical thinking skills, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.
Bringing hands-on STEAM learning to schools, libraries, and community centers
Our flagship program brings a fully-equipped mobile makerspace directly to schools and community centers, providing access to tools, materials, and expert guidance for hands-on STEAM projects.
Fun, engaging workshops where families learn and create together. From robotics to art projects, our family programs strengthen bonds while building STEAM skills across generations.
Professional development for teachers and community educators, equipping them with the knowledge and confidence to integrate maker education into their own programs.
