We are seeking school partners for our newest program Making Spaces! Maker Ed is one of 10 Making Spaces Hubs and we are accepting applications to join our network of 5-10 schools working to expand or integrate making in their school communities. We will partner with schools to create crowdfunding campaigns as well as provide professional development to support your making efforts and ideas.
Who should apply? The Hub @ Maker Ed is partnering with schools locally as well as virtually to support schools without access to one of our current regional Hubs. This program is great for schools who have an idea for maker education programming, integration, or a makerspace but need some extra support to get it started. We also can support schools who want to bring making into their community, but are unsure of where or how to start.
Our application deadline is November 16th! Learn more about how to apply and what it means to be a Making Spaces school.
Making Spaces is a partnership between Maker Ed, the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh and Google.
We operate Out of School Programs and are currently participating in the STEMbassador Training program under the Maryland Out of School Time Network.
We now need on own Maker Space and seed money to secure one and capacity build.
We have been operating programs for middle and high school youth in Baltimore City.
We would be thrilled to acquire enough revenue to have our own Maker Space and to stock it with at least some initial equipment, so we can operate our programs year-round.
Hi Virginia! That’s great, congratulations on all of your progress so far. If you’re interested in learning more about fundraising by participating in the Making Spaces program, you can learn more about the application process here: https://makered.org/making-spaces/get-involved/
