Learning with Style!The Beauty of STEM | Maker Institute is helping to make Pittsburgh a City of Learning where young people can learn anytime and anywhere. Our goal is to use Homewood and adjacent neighborhoods as a campus for youth to expose youth to out-of-school environments that support their creative interest. Our weekly studio sessions will be hosted at various locations and our fashion show will be at Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh - Homewood Auditorium. This year our theme is "Reclaim & Remix." We have collaborated with Pittsburgh Center for Creative Reuse to promote resource conservation and creativity through material reuse. Additionally, Knick Knacks and Paddy Wacks a unique Consignment Shoppe featuring handmade gifts from area artisans offers sponsorship through donating used materials for the youth to reuse.

"Digital badges are a cool new way to document learning no matter where it happens — inside or outside the classroom."TEKStart believes The Beauty of STEM | Maker Institute is the ideal summer learning experience to utilize digital badges. The fabrication of a fashion look offers sustainable evidence of skills. Over the duration of institute youth will gain knowledge of the fashion industry. The culminating production of The Beauty of STEM | Maker Fashion Show showcases youth disposition.
