Meet A Maker!
At the beginning of June, MAKESHOP™ welcomed four Maker Corps members. This summer, you can find them working at Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh and bringing MAKESHOP™ experiences on the road. Through the Maker Education Initiative, they will engage children and families in creative projects, while gaining experience serving as leaders in the community.
