Skills that keep connecting.

  1. Design & printing: move from an idea and measurements to a physical part.
  2. Circuits & soldering: bring components together and learn to test what you build.
  3. Coding & creative projects: make a device respond or explore a game idea.

Adults can earn badges through our workshops: start with Safety, demonstrate each core skill to staff, then put your approved skills to work. Academy after-school sessions are for ages 9–17.

How the Academy passport works

KEEP THE LEARNING WITH YOU

Practise. Revisit. Build on it.

Our written skill guides and diagrams help you revisit the essentials between visits. Staff still sign off practical Academy skills in person.

FROM FIRST TRY TO YOUR NEXT PROJECT

Your skills go with you.

Academy starts with Safety, then the core badges you want to earn. Staff record your achievements in your maker passport so you can build on them when you return.
