The concept behind Kids’ Makers Workshop is that giving kids an opportunity to independently make functional things of their own invention is important to their well-being. Kids need autonomy. They need unstructured time to explore and invent. Acquiring the skills to make things with their own hands increases their confidence. Producing functional things gives them a sense of purpose and meaning. And working creatively alongside other kids meets social needs for independent free play.

​

The volunteers who host these monthly makers workshops for kids care about providing that experience for kids in our community.
