Our Mission
Lowell Makes is a collection of open workshops and laboratories where members and students can collaborate to learn, share, and hone crafts of all kinds. We are focused on providing an inclusive space for education, entrepreneurship, and engagement with the community of Lowell, Massachusetts, and beyond.
Our space is equipped with a wide variety of tools, machines, materials, computers and other resources where individuals can gain and practice modern skills with state‐of‐the‐art technology, access to resources they could not otherwise, and a community of creative minded people who make all kinds of things.
Lowell Makes is used for brainstorming, visioning, problem solving, design, prototyping, custom fabrication and repair. The makerspace is also used for classes and workshops for both members and visitors in a wide variety of subjects. Classes are led both by members and invited visitors who have knowledge of skills, trades and technologies. Anything creative can happen here.
