Come and Make It!, like other makerspaces are “providing the space and the materials for project-based, independent, hands-on experience for students”. – Campbell University
COME AND MAKE IT!
At Come and Make It!, members have access to the design and digital lab, a fully stocked traditional art studio, the fashion and jewelry room, various hand tools and wood projects, and a culinary space for youth to experiment with flavors.
During their time with us, youth do either projects they are interested in (self-directed) or projects that the makerspace has designed for them. Check our calendar to see what students can make weekly.
We also offer more advanced classes and house other pieces of equipment such as pottery kiln, glass torch, welder, a laser engraver, woodworking tools, and multiple 3-D printers, and more that members can access through free or discounted classes.
All of our staff and volunteers are background checked with a minimum of two years job experience working with youth in other nonprofit such as schools, youth centers, and more.

What is a makerspace?
Makerspaces are a destination that is becoming the latest tool in community education. They provide space, equipment, and know-how – along with the freedom to try new things.
“The “Maker Movement” signifies emergence of a cultural model of a society where anyone can become a creative maker. As part of this movement, various kinds of “Makerspaces” provide physical and social infrastructures that help unleash people’s intrinsic abilities to make, create, and innovate.” – The Design Society
Just like two art studios or shops are unique, two makerspaces are unique from each other. They typically reflect the community they are in.
The Come and Make It! Makerspace has a strong emphasis on the arts, trades, STEM, and real life skills such as cooking and hand tools.
Please check our Calendar for what is happening right now in our Makerspace.

“A makerspace is a destination where students-sometimes alongside staff, parents, and mentors-can create, problem solve, and develop skills, talents, thinking, and mental rigor.”
