about the innovation
Build a Bright Future
Founded in January 2018, Future Makers provides hands-on enrichment activities that motivate and inspire youth to explore college and career opportunities. Youth are able to experience and develop new skills, connect with area programs, meet professionals, and expand their college and career options.
Maker days occur on Saturday mornings, two hours in length, twice monthly. At each maker day, youth work directly with industry professionals to learn about 21st-century careers. Each maker day features the career track component that outline a career path and academic steps to achieve success, and hands on enrichment activities to give youth exposure in the field.
