Maker Space

The ACCE Maker Space is a hands-on hub where scholars design, build, and experiment with technology while developing creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving skills. The space includes tools such as a Cricut design and cutting machine, drones, a 3D printer, and Makedo construction tools. Students use the Cricut to create graphics and project materials, drones to explore aviation and technology, and the 3D printer to design and produce prototypes. Makedo tools allow scholars to build structures and inventions using recycled materials. Through project-based, place-based, and problem-based learning, students apply their ideas to real-world challenges connected to the Ypsilanti community. The ACCE Maker Space helps scholars grow as Creative Innovators, Adaptive Collaborators, and Future-Ready Designers while preparing them for STEM careers.
