Children's Museum of Pittsburgh

children's Museum of Pittsburgh will partner with ACTION-Housing on a project titled "Making Experiences for Post-Foster Care Youth" to provide hands-on, interest-driven learning experiences that help youth, especially at-risk youth aging out of the foster care system, become the innovators of tomorrow. The partners will design and develop a safe, supportive, permanent makerspace within a community-based residential home for young adults, and a complementary program of facilitated making experiences, career workshops, and paid internships will help youth gain much-needed 21st century and tangible making skills. This project will provide opportunities to help youth discover their future potential, explore their passions, and build confidence and coping tools through making.
