What we Offer

All of our projects follow a tinkering approach that values unexpected ideas, practices hands-on construction and develops connections to real world outcomes. Here are some of the ways that we can collaborate to build these opportunities for your and your stakeholders:

Workshops For Educators

In our hands-on professional development workshops participants try activities as learners, reflect about their personal experience and brainstorm practical ways to bring these ideas to life. Our sessions support both total beginners as well as the makerspace experts.

Personalized Consulting

Maybe you are creating a school makerspace, developing a hands-on exhibition for a science center or starting a community based tinkering program. We bring our experience to the table while focusing on creating unique ideas and solutions for your project.

Collaborative Prototyping 

We thrive in the unknown, the world of half-baked ideas and the messy problem space of developing physical materials, kits, exhibits and environmental elements. Work with us to co-create new tools for teaching and learning about art, science and technology topics.

Something Else?

Need to run a month-long summer camp for teens in Saudi Arabia? We’ve been there! Creating a giant rube-goldberg style chain reaction machine in an historic post office? Done that! We want to know your wildest ideas and see if we can help bring them to life!

“Education has very little to do with explanation, it has to do with engagement, with falling in love with the material”
