About the Makerspace

The Makerspace is equipped for rapid prototyping and advanced digital fabrication, and supports users through the full innovation cycle – from ideation and design to development and commercialization. It promotes hands-on learning, self-sufficiency, and production over consumption, enabling youth to create, test, and scale their inventions into viable products and businesses. By working closely with industries such as healthcare and manufacturing, the facility helps develop tailored solutions that traditional methods may not easily achieve.

Open to the public and offering free expert guidance, The Makerspace provides tailored services for students, entrepreneurs, and organizations. It also runs local and global educational programs and national initiatives like the Maker Collective to showcase local innovation and build global connections. Through nationwide outreach and awareness campaigns, it continues to enhance digital literacy and support the integration of cutting-edge technologies across Jordan’s sectors.
