Our Mission
Bigger than just access to art and technology our mission is to empower North Omaha students to get jobs, pursue scholarships, or start their own business in the Arts and Sciences. To do this Makr uses a strength based mentorship model and a hands on approach with collaboration from mentors and peers building our students up and empowering them.
The Makr Track
The Makr Track is a three stage program that launches our students into success, starting with high school freshman all the way through senior year. Our goal is to help students build both skills and a portfolio needed to get jobs, scholarships, or launch into their own business.
Learner
Learners are all about exploration, learning of basic skills, and critical thinking. This opens up our students to get a feel for what they want to do as we begin providing training on equipment and tools to start making basic projects.
Doer
Doers start to focus on specific skills, learning from professionals and experts. Our Students start growing their skills and find their potential through more advanced creative projects.
Maker
Makers are where things really take off. Our students start focusing on their skills, both hard and soft. By using these skills, they create projects they never knew they could accomplish. Our mentors and experts empower them to take the next steps to start businesses, receive scholarships, and find jobs.
Mobile Workshops
Our mobile workshops are great tools to get youth interested in the art and sciences. These simple but fun workshops for middle and high school student teach both fun and practical skills the students can take into their homes and schools.
