Areté Makerspace is a program that encourages exploration in both traditional and digital crafting methods. One of its many goals is to encourage people to learn new skills that empower them to exercise creativity and problem-solving in an environment where it is safe to fail and experiment. Originally intended to be a series of in-person workshops held in the Eugenio Lopez Jr. Makerspace, the program has been re-imagined in order to continue its goals remotely.
