The Mix

Created using the principle of HOMAGO (hanging out, messing around and geeking out), The Mix is a membership-based, open-ended makerspace environment centered on allowing teens the freedom to explore new skills and creative pursuits.

Teens can join their peers, as well as qualified mentors, in exploring projects in electronics, coding, computer science, 3D design/printing, woodworking, sound/music/video editing, and much more! In addition to “open making” time, the Mix also offers mentor led workshops for those teens who are interested.

The Mix is free to teens 13–18. You can apply for a membership below. Explore STEM, make new friends, and exercise your creativity in our teens-only makerspace!
