About
MakerKids develops maker learning programs for kids and educators, and runs one of the only makerspaces for kids in the world. Our Board of Advisors includes Dale Dougherty (CEO of Maker Media, MAKE Magazine and Maker Faire) and Massimo Banzi (CEO of Arduino). We enable kids to build their ideas with real tools and materials; our goal is to inspire and empower kids to think, design, experiment and create. Our three main offerings are currently: 1) Programs: Camps, after-school programs, birthday parties and activities at external events where kids can learn about and do things like 3D printing, electronics and woodworking, 2) Curriculum development for clients like Intel and 3D Systems, and 3) Educator training for clients such as the Toronto Public Library. We've been featured in major media such as Wired, CTV and the Globe and Mail, and have spoken at SXSW, Maker Faire, MakerCon, and more.
