We are Maker Depot Academy, a Non-Profit STEAM Center registered as a 501(c)(3). We started in 2015, in our brick and mortar makerspace, The Maker Depot. When we had to close Maker Depot, we knew that we could not stop our mission to bring STEAM education to schools, camps, and families.
At Maker Depot Academy we take the formality out of the classroom. Our approach is a more project oriented way of teaching. Our approach allows the students and teachers to be more involved.
Besides schools, we, here at Maker Depot Academy, also want to bring our services to those who do not have access to these types of materials. We want to help with Career Training for those who may be looking for a different path.
We have recently opened up a small space in Roseland, NJ for classes and events, and are getting close to opening up another space in Montclair.
