Welcome to the Makerspace

The Wednesday Project series is a new initiative that promotes Areté’s focus themes, associated programs, and creative projects. A way to unwind from the weekday grind, The Wednesday Project intends to provide a mid-week respite from routine.


​
As the creativity and innovation hub of the Ateneo de Manila University, Areté provides the space and freedom for groups from different fields and persuasions to create, collaborate on, and share knowledge, skills, and practices.
