Maker's Garage
Info
Maker’s Garage is QLO’s hands-on innovation lab. A space to tinker, build, and learn through doing. Equipped with instruments, repurposed materials, and ideas, it hosts hackathons, repair fairs, and workshops that blend craft with STEM learning. Here, young makers and entrepreneurs prototype low-cost solutions for real-world challenges, one experiment at a time. The garage is open from 10 AM to 5 PM.
Interested in bringing your projects to life? Drop by and explore the space, attend or host STEM workshops, create and tinker from scratch with guidance from our head tinkerer, and connect with our community.
