Bring learning to life with hands-on, project-based experiences.

We design makerspaces, develop curriculum, and train educators to help students discover the joy of learning through making!

What We Believe

Empowering students through active learning.

At 1st Maker Space, we believe learning sticks when students roll up their sleeves and dive in. Our mission is to empower students through spaces, tools, and opportunities that spark curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving skills that last a lifetime.

What We Do

Makerspaces, professional development, and lesson plans for educators and change makers.

Training that equips educators with tools, confidence, and teaching strategies.

Free Lesson Plans

Makerspaces Matter

Learning that lasts a lifetime.

Today’s students can look up any answer online, but real learning happens through experience. Makerspaces bridge the gap between knowing and doing by giving students a place to experiment, create, and grow. They build confidence, encourage collaboration, and prepare students with skills that matter for tomorrow’s careers.
