Our mission is to help kids develop the skills and mindsets to change the world.

We’re helping kids become innovators, inventors, and entrepreneurs.

Award-winning STEM programs that unleash potential

MakerKids runs award-winning virtual programs, camps and parties on Coding, Robotics and Minecraft for kids ages 6-13.

Embedded in all our programs are lessons that help kids build confidence, resilience, social skills and a positive relationship with technology.

We Know Kids.

Our instructors are not just programmers and STEM professionals– they’re kid experts, too. Many are certified teachers or early childhood educators, and all are carefully selected through a rigorous hiring process led by our experienced Managers, who are former educators themselves. Every instructor is thoroughly trained and shadows classes before teaching on their own, ensuring top-quality, kid-focused learning.

Technology that inspires creativity.

Real-World Technical Skills

Kids learn industry-leading technologies, equipping them for high-earning careers of the future.

Putting Projects into Practice

Kids don’t just learn programming concepts – they get to use them to make real projects like games.

Confidence & Social Skills

Embedded in all our programs are social skill lessons, and the chance for kids to socialize with like-minded peers.

A Positive Approach To Tech

We want every child to leave MakerKids with the belief that they can use technology to shape the world around them.

“My boys flourish here and look forward to it every week. They show social skills improvement and more confidence since coming to MakerKids and finding their “tribe.”

TAMMY ISBELL – ACTRESS

“Kids come in here not knowing what they can do and they leave with a phenomenal amount of self-confidence, and capability.”

ROD FITZSIMMONS-FREY – PARENT

The original tech programs for kids

MakerKids founded the first makerspace for kids in the world in 2010, and went on to pioneer an industry and transform education. Today, kids can access MakerKids’ award-winning programs on Coding, Minecraft and Robotics from the comfort of their own home.

We’ve been invited to give talks about our work around the world, at SXSW, MakerCon, Maker Faire, TEDx and more. We have also written a book about our work, called Every Child A Maker – as well as a children’s book called The MakerKid.

We’ve trained educators and helped school boards and libraries implement makerspaces.

We’ve run programs for Google and Twitter, for their employees’ kids.

Your child will experience award-winning curriculum built by engineers, entrepreneurs, and graduates of the Singularity University program at NASA, refined over 15+ years.
