When I was young(er) I loved tinkering with my Dad in his workshop.  The best part wasn't the end product, it was the sharing of ideas,  the teamwork, troubleshooting, and occasional insult hurling when things didn't go as planned.  My dad always got me involved in his projects regardless of my ineptitude, short attention span and overall discourtesy.  Working with him was a departure from other activities because he rarely patronized me or talked to me like a kid.   We were a team-- just  trying to design and make the best dang potato cannon the Derry Township police department had even seen. :)

​

Make. Believe. is an attempt to replicate some of that magic.  Let families and kids work real and challenging projects.  Learn hard and soft skills along the way.  There's no better preparation for the real world than a team/family design challenge.

​​

We want Make. Believe.  to be a space where learning is organic and fun-- a safe space to try, to fail and to eventually succeed.   An inclusive place to empower the creative pursuits of the community. Bring your ideas and your passion.  We'll provide the tools and resources to make it happen.
