Our Vision

At Makerie Workshop, our vision is to build a third space where teens can explore who they are, express what they love, and create the world they imagine. We believe every young person deserves access to tools, mentorship, and community — no matter their background or resources.

Our dream is to see a generation of makers, artists, and thinkers who feel confident using creativity not just to build things, but to build belonging, empathy, and change. In the Workshop, imagination isn’t a hobby — it’s the foundation for a more connected, inspired, and inclusive future.
