Jockey Club YouthCreate Series — Maker Education

This is a story of

growth and companionship

In this program, we united and partnered with the youth to engage in maker skills, to develop interest through learning and making. Through empathy and creativity, we strive to bring social impact to the community.

In this three-year YouthCreate series, MakerBay, as a Technical Partner, has been committed to bringing maker education and mindset to the next generation. Through technical training and co-create community projects, the youth and social workers have used the skills and mindset they have learned to create, and work together towards the goal of improving the community.

Three years have passed. With the joint efforts of social workers, young people and MakerBay, this project has come to a perfect end. But everyone is still connected after that. Through this program, we realized that maker education is about learning from each other, and understanding, through communication, the needs of youth centers and even the entire community. This way, we helped the community centers establish maker education, and make use of their creativity and knowledge of the community to create for the betterment of the community.

paving the way for co-creation with the youth.

The youth were not in for a smooth ride, but they were never alone. They learned and made with their companions, gaining experience through trial and error, sharing the fruit of success together. Let’s hear their story.

“Treasure new perspectives”

Through this program, new youth stories have been born. Stories of growth, of community bonding, of bringing impact to community through making.

青成共創: 一起來建構心目中的青年中心吧!

上水其實並沒有太多能吸引年輕人加入並結識區內朋友的社區中心，所以社工們和一群年輕人便一同構思並設計出一個新的社區中心——「清河分處」來建立一個屬於上水和粉嶺年輕人的聯網社區。在六個星期裡面，他們以問「如果」的問題作為構思的起點，最終為區內的年輕人設計及製作出4個非常有趣的計劃。
