About us

At Makespace Australia, we believe in the power of creativity, exploration, and the joy of hands-on learning. We are dedicated to providing fun and engaging craft-focused workshops in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) for young innovators.

 

Our Mission:

Our mission is to inspire the next generation of innovators and problem-solvers by seamlessly blending the worlds of STEM with the boundless creativity of the arts (STEAM). We begin our journey with craft-focused workshops, where kids can explore the wonders of plants, learn the basics of woodworking, and build on scientific concepts.

Paving the Way for Future Innovations:

While our current focus is on hands-on craft projects, we see these workshops as the building blocks of a broader exploration into the exciting realms of STEAM. As we nurture creativity through crafting, we envision a future where our workshops support collaborative ventures throughout Brisbane and beyond!

 

Building Community Together:

We're not just a workshop; we're a community of curious minds and creative spirits. Join us on this exciting journey by sharing your ideas, creations, and feedback. As we launch our YouTube channel, we invite you to be a part of shaping the content. What workshops or topics would you like to see?
