Makers Making Change (new window) is excited to announce a new initiative — Youth Making Change (new window)!

Funded by the Government of Canada, the Youth Making Change project supports STEM programming for K-12 youth in Canada.

Students will improve their awareness and understanding of people with disabilities while serving their local community. This project can be integrated into STEM programs or extra-curricular activities including robotics clubs, holiday clubs, and hack clubs.

Students will create and donate assistive devices for people with disabilities while incorporating the principles of design thinking, using 3D modeling (CAD) software, and 3D printing for social good.

There are a variety of STEM workshops available for Canadian youth K-12. These are opened to classrooms, robotics club, after-school organizations, and any youth group. CanCode STEM Workshop training is paid by the Government of Canada. Workshop supplies are separate but may be covered depending on your region.

Whether you’re a teacher looking for class activities, STEM group leader, or just someone passionate about STEM development for youths, contact one of our offices to learn more. Reach out to us at info@makersmakingchange.com.
