Tualatin Makerspace Mission

While Tualatin continues to seek solutions to all community-defined needs and priorities described in our Tualatin Tomorrow Vision Plan, our ABC initiative is hyper-focused on one specific target:  connecting youth and underserved populations to STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) education and CTE training that align with our advanced manufacturing industry base.  In addition to providing jobs and personal growth opportunities for residents, we can begin to develop a workforce pipeline for a large cross-section of our employers. 

Our mission is to develop a Mobile Makerspace and associated programming. Our three overarching goals for the Mobile Makerspace are:

1. Increase access to STEAM learning resources
2. Promote awareness of career pathway opportunities and CTE education
3. Establish training and internship connections with local employers with the ultimate aim of increasing the number of local residents holding local jobs

Longer-term, we intend to supplement the Mobile Makerspace with a permanent Career and Creative Community Center.  The Center would provide space to add larger maker equipment, conduct classes and workshops and integrate performing arts.
