We bring learning to life.

At 1st Maker Space, we’re on a mission to empower children to learn through doing. We believe that by providing makerspaces and engaging hands-on curriculum, we’re helping students discover a passion for learning that lasts a lifetime.

Today’s youth have grown up being able to learn by Googling any answer in an instant. Unfortunately, this kind of learning as an active personal process is not at all what students experience in a standard classroom, where the teacher and textbook are the limits of allowed expertise. 1st Maker Space enables both the educators and students by creating environments that inspire “thinkering”. Our goal is to get kids so engaged with projects that they look forward to school.

We know it takes more than just space. If only we could elevate learning simply by designating a physical area. The 1st Maker Space team is comprised of a diverse group of educators, engineers, designers, and content experts. We work with you to ensure that, in addition to building your custom makerspace, you’re equipped with everything you need to bring STEM learning to life successfully.

  • Standards-based, hands-on curriculum

  • 21st Century Tools (3D printers, laser cutters, etc.)

  • Professional Development for project-based learning teaching methods

Time Magazine called the Maker movement “…important to America’s future” and we couldn’t agree more. With an emphasis on 21st-century skills and thinking outside the box, we build markerspaces to help children become highly engaged, lifelong learners and to help educators teach in ways that promote student enjoyment, engagement, and retention.

So what is a makerspace?

Makerspaces are spaces where students can gather to create, invent, and learn. They combine DIY with education. According to Oxford Dictionary, a makerspace is a place in which people with shared interests, especially in computing or technology, can gather to work on projects while sharing ideas, equipment, and knowledge. You can learn more about why makerspaces are so important and why we believe making physical things is a fundamental skill that defines us as humans here on our research page.
