Maker PD Packages

A year of coaching and professional development that is customized to meet your needs
Maker PD Packages starting at $10,000 include planning, goals and needs identification, custom training and materials, connection to a network of K-12 Maker Educators, and more. ​
Here’s how it works:
We meet with you to discuss your vision, identify goals, and explore how Maker projects and technologies bring your vision to life. We’ll walk you through our PD strands and resources, including  Makerspace design, resources to make the case for Making, Maker tool skills training, Maker project design process, teacher practices, and lots more. We will work with you to choose the strands that meet your specific needs and create a custom program.
