Learn to use popular Maker tools and materials to jumpstart Making in your classroom! Our Maker tools skills workshops are designed with the beginning Maker in mind, but all experience levels are welcome.

All workshops are held at our MIT Makerspace and simulcast for remote participants.

Workshops run from ours are 8:30 - 2:30 EDT

Full kits of materials are shipped to remote participants as needed

Spend a day with us and leave with starter projects, resources, and the confidence to carry out projects in your classroom!

See what participants said about our workshops this summer:

“Hands on - plenty of help - guidance on issues we will face while trying to teach this to students - very helpful. It's one thing to learn how to use the hardware/software - it's a whole different ballgame trying to figure out how to teach the information to kids”
“Justin was excellent about addressing what the students might say in hypothetical teaching situations. Diane outlined the variety of ways we could customize and "hack" projects!”
“Great overview, excellent ideas on 3-D printing, we had time to innovate and try our own designs.”
“Having time to tinker and figure it out on our own, having instructions / ideas for projects”
“The materials were clear and plentiful. The assistants were very helpful.”

The mission of the K-12 Maker team is to help K-12 classroom educators create and deliver fun, enriching Maker experiences to their students - no matter what subject they teach. Building upon our experiences as K-12 teachers, we work directly with other educators to collect and co-design resources. Our team is part of the MIT Edgerton Center, a home for experiential learning at MIT for decades, The Edgerton Center offers classes and resources in engineering and imaging, and supports student engineering clubs and teams, in addition to offering a year-round K-12 program. We design, create, and teach at the MIT Edgerton Center Student Project Lab, a working Makerspace filled with MIT students, staff, and community as well as a wide variety of prototyping/Maker tools and materials.
