Makers programs and makerspaces give students the opportunity to develop their STEM skills in a hands-on way, through designing, building, and crafting. LitShop focuses on after-school and summer programs for girls ages 10-14 to gain confidence and literacy skills through building and making. LitShop shows young girls that they are welcome in the world of woodworking, architecture, carpentry, and more. Girls are literally given the tools to develop an innovative and DIY mindset and show them they are capable of creating anything they put their minds to! LitShop is a safe space for girls to create and explore these fields freely while uplifting and supporting each other.
