These workshops could be over any number of topics, such as art projects, papercrafting, woodworking, welding, 3D printing, laser engraving, sewing, photography, and more! All workshop instructors earn a percentage of the class fees collected. If you have a hands-on skill or trade you can teach, we’re interested!
“Girls in
STEM”

Mobile
Makerspace
Crew
During the spring, summer, and fall, our mobile makerspace goes out into the community and hosts workshops for all ages. We need volunteers who can join us at these events and help host them! Note: these volunteers aren’t needed during winter months when the mobile makerspace isn’t going out.
Technology
Guru
Do you have an interest in maintaining computers, setting up servers, and keeping various pieces of technology in line? We need a technology guru at Made New. You would help us maintain our file server, and help us ensure that computers and technology are all working as they should.
