Let us bring STEAM Activities to your community!

Our Mobile Makerspace is designed to bring hands-on STEAM learning into your community. We realize that distance and cost might be a barrier to traveling to our location in North Little Rock, Arkansas. By creating our mobile unit, we can bring a makerspace directly into Arkansas’s classrooms and communities to provide hands-on education, utilizing a variety of state-of-the-art tools. Our curriculum is designed to explore Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math subjects using a project-based interdisciplinary model that combines hands-on creativity with fun!

Where can our Mobile Makerspace go?

COMMUNITY EVENTS

SCHOOL FIELD TRIPS

The Mobile Makerspace brings activities to Community Events providing a little sampling of STEAM education to everyone who attends.

The Innovation Hub is the perfect partner to elevate your event or conference with an extra layer of excitement and educational value. We bring hands-on, interactive STEAM experiences directly to your community. Whether it’s robotics, art projects, screen-printing, or themed engineering challenges, we help foster innovation and learning in a fun and accessible way, making your event memorable and meaningful. STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) activities engage participants of all ages and inspire curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.

We’ve been delighted to partner with the Museum of Discovery’s Science After Dark, Tinkerfest, EAST Conference, School Sponsored Family STEAM Nights, Lost 40, North Little Rock Library System, Our House, and more! We can prepare walk-up, hands-on activities designed to expose participants to something new and magical in STEAM, making your event even more memorable, engaging, and unique.

Tell us more about your event, your theme, and your goals.

COMMUNITY EVENTS - INQUIRE

A group of children hold up and show off their fun new art buttons, made at a walk-up event in North Little Rock.

The Mobile Makerspace Van is loaded with activities to carry to schools.

We built custom STEAM Roller Cabinets to store and transport our mobile 3D Printers, CNCs, and Laser Cutters - cabinets we could push into school gymnasiums and classrooms! These rolling crates opened up to use the equipment inside.

Students and educators visit the Hub's educational booth at EAST Conference. Students are participating in screen printing and chalk art.

The Mobile Makerspace brings STEAM education to schools across Arkansas through Field Trips!

STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics. It is an educational approach that integrates these disciplines into a cohesive learning model based on real-world applications. By focusing on combined STEAM activities, educators aim to nurture students’ abilities to think critically, solve problems creatively, and engage in innovative thinking.

STEAM is about learning essential life skills, beyond the information within a textbook. Through hands-on projects and real-world challenges, kids develop critical thinking, boost their creativity, and enhance their problem-solving skills. They learn to think logically, express ideas creatively, and tackle problems with innovative solutions.
