autisMakesTM workshops are designed to give young people on the autism spectrum the chance to explore the Maker environment and engage in a wide range of projects and design challenges. Participants enhance their social and technical problem-solving skills through interaction and collaboration with peers, mentors, and facilitators while experiencing the joy of discovery, camaraderie, and creativity inherent in Making.
These workshops are an invaluable source of anecdotal information as we continually strive to provide the optimum experience for participants. They also provide the vehicle for training additional educators and service providers who work in the autistic community in the implementation of the autisMakes model, multiplying the potential to impact the lives of those on spectrum.
