About Young Makers

Technology should be something young people create with — not just consume.

Young Makers & Technology gives young people practical opportunities to experiment, build, collaborate and turn ideas into working projects.

From coding and AI to 3D design, digital fabrication, app development and entrepreneurship, participants build practical skills while learning to think creatively and solve problems.

The aim is to help young people see themselves not only as users of technology, but as future developers, makers, innovators and founders.
