Chicagoland's Premier Makerspace for Kids and Teens
It's a place where they can learn to use real tools to build real things. Our goal is to inspire and guide the next generation of inventors, entrepreneurs, and problem-solvers by showing kids from elementary school through high school that they can be producers rather than consumers of designed objects, technology, and media.
