As a member, you work onsite with a partner organization to foster collective impact by designing program structures, expanding partnerships, securing resources, organizing maker education training, and linking communities to the larger Maker Movement.

Mission Statement
The Maker Education Initiative’s mission is to create more opportunities for all young people to develop confidence, creativity, and interest in science, technology, engineering, math, art, and learning as a whole through making.
Description
In May 2012, Maker Ed was formed in response to President Obama’s "Educate to Innovate" campaign to move American students from the middle to the top of the pack in science and math achievement over the next decade. Maker Ed plays a national leadership role in developing a maker network of institutions, youth serving organizations, statewide afterschool networks, corporations, foundations, and makers seeking to accelerate and deepen the Maker Movement.
Maker Ed is a non-profit organization, based in Oakland, CA, and works with educators and organizations nationwide to provide training, support, resources, and community-building efforts in order to facilitate meaningful making and learning experiences with youth.
