Makerspace & Skills Hubs for Kids

Where Curious Kids Connect

Anything is possible at Ampere Makerspace & Skills Hubs, located in rural, remote, and Indigenous communities. From exciting technology and creative coding, to oozing oobleck and Minecraft marvels, kids explore, imagine, and create in ways that feel like play, but build real STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) skills.

With STEAM camps, after school programs, weekend drop-ins and more, our play-based programming is led by some of the best STEAM Educators in Canada, and designed for your community.
