Unlocking creativity, curiosity, and career skills through maker learning
Supporting hands-on exploration of real materials in more than 200 makerspaces.

Maker learning isn’t something new, but new and newly-accessible technologies like 3D printers, online forums, and inexpensive Arduino kits are breaking down barriers to making; many projects that previously required expensive equipment, software, and expertise can now be done in a classroom or at home with a few hundred dollars and a little gumption. As the Pittsburgh community has grown and more makerspaces and Maker Faires have popped up in communities all over the world, local makers have emerged to share approaches, spark new ideas, and collaborate on projects to  result in new and innovative solutions to today’s problems. The Maker Learning Collaborative helps bring maker educators together to reduce duplication and increase impact in maker-centered learning across the region.
