We believe that everyone is a maker, but not everyone can get the opportunity to develop the makers’ skills and mindset. Make: Learning Labs is a program that can help you grow your talents through a series of labs in which you will work on hands-on projects. Our goal is to help you discover what interests you and your abilities, no matter your previous educational experiences. We believe you can become a good learner who is confident in his or her ability to be productive and do meaningful work. That is, you become a maker who can create new things and, once you see yourself as a maker, you can innovate and change the world for the better.
