A community makerspace in Lowell, Massachusetts
Lowell Makes is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, shared community workshop and laboratory. We are an organized group of local artists, engineers, makers, and thinkers who work together to provide tools and learning resources to the public. We use these resources to collaborate on individual and community projects in order to promote science, technology and art; while working and experimenting on innovative ideas to encourage learning within our community.
Our weekly tours on Wednesday nights are the best time to see our makerspace.
Share Your Skills at Mill City Skill Share 2025!
Do you have a skill you love and want to share? Join the fun and excitement of the 13th Annual Mill City Skill Share on Saturday, March 29th, 2025! Held at Lowell Makes, this vibrant, community-led event is a celebration of hands-on learning, creativity, and connection. From crafting and juggling to technology and trades, there’s room for every passion and talent.
As an instructor, you’ll have the unique opportunity to showcase your expertise, inspire others, and become part of a tradition that has been empowering our community since before Lowell Makes was even founded. Whether through interactive workshops or live demonstrations, your knowledge could spark someone’s new hobby, skill, or career.
