A variety of new skills learned including: Coding, Soldering, 3D Modeling, Sewing, Video Game Design, Music/Photo/Video Editing, Photoshop and more. Community members are able to share skills and give back by volunteering to run a class or be a Makerspace Coach. Our programs strengthen critical thinking and problem solving skills and collaboration. Showing kids and teens how to tinker gives them the chance to nurture their creativity and imagination, learn how to ‘play to learn’ and gain real world skills that they can carry on to college or to the job market. In addition, MACH1 bridges the digital divide in a whole new way. We invite our members to participate in ‘future tech’ that may not be affordable to them at home.
