MakeX aims to bring the daunting but immeasurably rewarding world of making to the community. For years, the maker movement has been thriving, offering thousands with the satisfaction, education, and self-sufficiency gained from making instead of consuming. However, this movement has long been inaccessible to those who could perhaps benefit from it most. At MakeX, we believe that by helping community members to discover their inner capability for creation and innovation, we are cultivating the confidence needed to thrive after high school in our generation and in ourselves.
