We bring together designers, makers, educators and students to develop projects that are available as online courses and physical workshops. We seek to recognise and be representative of Aotearoa's different sectors, fields and cultural diversity through collaboration.
If you're a teacher, you don’t have to teach on an island and you don’t need to have all the technical skills involved in a project.
Project Make connects people with projects, skills, knowledge and each other. We bring together the collective knowledge and practices of the design community across sectors and disciplines.
Our services include:
If you’re a student, Project Make puts you in touch with people you might not otherwise have access to.
If you want to learn how to make something, or would like support in teaching something (where the teacher becomes the student; dun dun duuun) - we can help make it happen.
The project library is currently under development. The evil plan is to have projects that span as many disciplines and domains of art and design as we can name. But, as the Mainland cheese boys say, ‘good things take time’.
So if you don’t see what you’re after - let us know. Get in touch with some details and we will work out an appropriate way to support you. This could be as straightforward as finding someone to provide authentic stakeholder feedback on an exisiting project on or hooking you up with a short technical course from an exisiting provider.
The content of each project has been developed by our collaborators. These humans love what they do and want to share their skills and expertise. Our online projects can be delivered by a teacher or undertaken at home by a student. For us a student is anyone who wants to learn something new.
Some projects have been created specifically to meet the requirements of the New Zealand Curriculum, while others are aligned to tertairy and industry practice. Ultimately, our hope is that our projects support the overall culture of design and making in Aotearoa.
Our library of projects is currently under development - and we are seeking collaborators and mentors. If you are passionate about the value and future of art and design in New Zealand and have specialist knowledge that you’re willing to share, we want to hear from you!
