Children & Youth
Makerspace Education & Visual Spacial Literacy
Like many organizations we have adapted our children’s programming and are working hard to build a cognitive rich playful environment while keeping children safe.
We focus on building and construction activities because they help to build visual spatial literacy, a kind of intelligence that is easily learned and foundational to interest in all STEM fields.
Using puzzles, construction elements, and 3D CAD we hope to inspire curiosity and interest in science, tech, engineering, art, and math (STEAM).
To enroll your child, please complete the registration form.
Maverick Makers Pro (MMPRO)
Maverick Makers PRO is a workforce development and social enterprise program for teens ages 14 to 18. Helping teens to build skills for the future in a space that designed to support their creations is how we create an environment that nurtures creativity and resiliency.
We give youth an opportunity to make an income while designing and making products. Our What-Kind-Of-Maker-Are-You key chains and charms have been sold in the Boston Maker Faire and in the East Boston Open Market. 100% of the proceeds supports teen jobs. Teens are paid an hourly wage for all time they put into production, marketing, and sales. Our journals are on sale now at our Maverick Makers PRO store.
