Like Home Depot does the first Saturday of the month, the our little 6 month-old family start-up "@MakerDads" hosts an OPEN MAKE (free) the 2nd Saturday of every month, open to local friends and family right here in our two-car, two-story 1898 garage. Kids come WITH their parents, and MAKE for an hour, 2 or even for all three. It is helping our children (4 under 6) get to know other children in the area, but also develop a love for making, tinkering and engineering from a young age.

As we support schools redesign efforts, we also have to walk the walk within our own space. We've been evolving the interior design of our old garage (now named the MakerDads Community Makerspace). Follow our work @MakerDads on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook including photos, collaborations with Home Depot Kids Workshop and more. Our YouTube channel is brand new, and the kids have watched many of the Ryiobi shows - my 3 year-old daughter LOVES watching Ana White. "See Daddy that girl makes. She makes." As a father to two daughters, thank you for the gender equity in this field that is absent from other brands.

We'd sure love to partner with you all to complete a project!

    • Thank you! How many votes do we need ??

      By makerdads, on April 28, 2018

    • For the Dream Workshop Encore contest? That one ended at the end of March. If you are thinking of the monthly Power to the People winner, there is no exact number of votes needed to win. The project with the most votes during that month (April) will be chosen as a winner.
