Our mission is to become the most helpful, accessible and inclusive makerspace at MIT. As an online community with members spread across the world, we are accessible 24/7 to answer questions, offer project guidance, and connect you with the right people. A collaboration between ProtoWorkshop and Project Manus, we are open to the greater MIT community from all departments and class years, including alumni and faculty.

1-on-1 Maker Mentoring Sessions
Making is always hard and doing this from home can be even harder. We are offering 1-on-1 online mentoring sessions to help you advance your maker project/startup idea/research. Fill out this form and let us know how we can help. The sessions are free, available immediately, and available to any MIT students (undergrad, grad, phD) from any department (our mentors are alums with industry experience and we have helped 50+ students so far).
