We hope everyone is having a great start to their school year! We're very excited for a safe and healthy return to the maker spaces!
Professional Development Training at the Education Partnership Event
Matt's Maker Space recently sponsored a Professional Training Event at the Education Partnership for teachers of Western Pennsylvania. Through two classes, Recycled Sculpture/Recycled Materials Exploration
and Intro to Cricut, 50 teachers were able to gain experience in these areas as well as Act 48 credit.

We are hoping to provide more opportunities like this for all of our Matt's Maker Space locations.
