Mission
PARTS & CRAFTS IS A MAKERSPACE AND COMMUNITY WORKSHOP IN SOMERVILLE, MA. WE ENCOURAGE KIDS TO THINK AND MAKE AND LEARN AND DO THROUGH THE EXPLORATION OF THE ARTS, SCIENCE, COMPUTER PROGRAMMING, AND ENGINEERING, A CLUSTER OF DISCIPLINES WE REFER TO AS THE "CREATIVE APPLICATION OF TECHNICAL SKILLS". IN ALL OF OUR PROGRAMS WE AIM TO CREATE A SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR SELF-DIIRECTED LEARNING WHERE YOUNG PEOPLE CAN LEARN HANDS-ON SKILLS, GAIN COMPTENCY IN BASIC TOOL USE, AND WORK ON CREATIVE PROJECTS.
