The MakerSpace Classroom facilitates the exchange of ideas, collaboration and innovation where students create projects and foster a curiosity for creating. We believe that STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Math) is not a series of disparate disciplines, but rather is the language we use to shape the world around us. We believe that young adult-led, hands-on projects are one of the best ways to learn the language of STEAM. We believe in the inspiring mentorship of creative professionals and enthusiastic teachers. Our mission is to help our Mack Scholars develop both the confidence and competence to change the world.
