About Parts and Crafts in Somerville, MA

At Parts and Crafts, we offer a makerspace and community workshop in Somerville, MA. We believe that kids should have the opportunity to think, make, learn, and do through the exploration of the arts, science, computer programming, and engineering. We refer to this as “the creative application of technical skills”. We strive to create a supportive environment where kids can gain competency in basic tool use and work on creative projects in a safe and enriching environment. At Parts and Crafts, we are passionate about inspiring kids to use their imaginations, explore their interests, and develop a love of learning. We strive to create a space that encourages kids to think outside the box and gain new skills while creating something unique. Whether it’s learning to use a saw and drill, understanding the basics of coding, or creating a work of art, our programs will help your child develop a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them.
