We’re MakerKids. We started the first makerspace for kids in the world, and now run award-winning virtual programs, camps and parties on coding, robotics and Minecraft. Our programs help kids develop confidence, social skills, resilience and a positive relationship with technology. We ignite kids’ potential and inspire them to be inventors, entrepreneurs, and innovators. Kids have started businesses, won prizes from NASA, and had positive mental health outcomes. Come change the world with us, one kid at a time. We provide amazing interest-driven STEM programs to help kids move from being consumers to creators. MakerKids was named Best Kids’ Workshops by Toronto Life Magazine and one of the top ten awesome birthday parties in Toronto by Today’s Parent. We’ve been featured in major media such as Wired, CTV and the Globe and Mail, and have spoken at SXSW, Maker Faire, MakerCon, and more.

Organization Structure Configuration for Growth
Our organization needs to prepare for rapid growth. To help us do that, we need to have the right people in the right places. We would like the help of students to modify our current organizational structure in a way that best manages our growth priorities. To accomplish this, we believe students will need to: Research the existing positions and personnel Apply an understanding of effective organizational structures in our industry Generate a projection for personnel needs Complete a gap analysis for the skills and positions needed Develop a proposal for a reconfiguration of our current organizational Structure
