The Makers’ Movement is a creative revolution that ushers individuals into the new age of making by transforming them from mere consumers to creators-makers.

The engagement of makers in Makerspace environments makes them active citizens, taking a responsible role for the current events in their communities/societies and inviting them to experiment with techniques and tools, explore ideas, and present solutions to personal and/or social problems by taking a stand with their creations. Through this creative process, makers cultivate new skills, discover important parts of themselves, and create bonds with other makers from their community and the world. The Maker’s Movement phenomenon was established by Dale Dougherty and aims to reshape science and technology education and create economic opportunities for youth as well as the renaissance of urban manufacturing.

Sharing the trend of the times and wanting to strengthen the community of creators in Cyprus, we created the Youth Makerspace Larnaka. The space is identified with the Maker Movement, providing the young men and women of Cyprus with equipment, tools, and know-how for free use to create constructions and prototypes. Among other things, our presence supports the educational centers and organized groups of Cyprus to get to know new technologies and to experiment by making small and large creations that fall into their interests and/or provide solutions to problems of their community and/or of the world.
