Maker-In-Residence
In 2023, we launched our Maker-in-Residence Program for two high school students participating in our Education and Community Enrichment program. The Maker-in-Residence program aims to provide a more profound maker experience for students to engage with the makerspace, unlock and support their creative potential, build meaningful mentor relationships while learning tool proficiency, and experience vocational career exposure. This is a high-investment, high-impact pilot program was designed for participants to cultivate a growth mindset of improvement.
The Maker-in-Residence participants are awarded membership, a materials stipend, a class stipend for additional classes outside the partnership program, and one-on-one mentoring with Roundhouse experts.
Ivan Carrillo and Jazmin Juarez Flores are our Maker-in-Residence awardees for the 2023-24 academic year. Ivan spends most of his time in the Textiles Shop and Wood Shop, and has been inspired to create his own clothing line using the Cricut vinyl cutter. Jazmin creates in the Textiles Shop, learning pattern-making and custom-designing her own clothes.
