"Learned what entry level tools would be appropriate for a middle school makerspace!"
K-12 Maker Skills Workshops
Full-day workshops on Maker Projects
Spend a day at MIT with K-12 Maker experts learning digital fabrication (3D printers, laser cutters, Cricut cutters), electronics, physical computing or handcrafting tools and techniques through fun, engaging Maker projects that you can adapt to use in your classes.
Jumpstart Making in your classroom! Our Maker skills workshops are designed with the beginning Maker in mind, but all experience levels are welcome. Come for a day (or two, or three, or four!) and a set of hands-on projects that are centered around a family of Maker tools.
"For me, it was valuable to have like-minded people (and, can I say, people who are smarter than me in certain areas!) to be around...It left me inspired, energized and a little smarter."
Master Making in the Classroom PD
Enroll in Master Making in the Classroom and leverage your school makerspace to support academic learning in any subject area. Applications for 2026 are now open!
Educators in Master Making in the Classroom will learn to design and lead Maker projects that boost student engagement, promote 21st century skills, and enrich academic settings. Students will gain fresh perspectives on their coursework and find new ways to express their ideas using creative, hands-on tools.
