Casa Grande Makerspace Project
Empowering Independence, Skill Development, and Creativity!
About the Project
With generous support from The Thunderbird Charity, we are transforming one of our Casa Grande spaces into a modern makerspace. Scheduled for completion by the end of February 2024, this innovative space will empower our Members with:
- Essential employment skills for today’s job market.
- Opportunities to explore cutting-edge technologies.
- Tools to support independent lifestyles through hands-on learning and skill-building.
This makerspace is designed to inspire creativity and foster the exploration of new interests, providing Members with access to the resources they need to thrive.

Our Inspiration
2023, thanks to support from the Fiesta Bowl Charities, we completed a similar project at our Avondale campus. This space has been a huge success, creating opportunities for Members to engage with new technologies and develop important life skills.
Why This Matters
Creating makerspaces like this is about more than just tools and technology—it’s about building a brighter future.
- Skill Development: Members gain hands-on experience with tools and technologies, preparing them for employment.
- Independence: Learning practical skills fosters confidence and empowers Members to live independently.
- Exploration and Creativity: These spaces allow Members to discover passions and interests in a supportive environment.
- Community Impact: Makerspaces build stronger communities by encouraging collaboration and shared learning.
- Bridging the Gap: Access to modern technologies ensures Members stay competitive and connected in an evolving world.
