A new creative initiative, designed to develop creativity STEM activity for young people in the area and inspire the next generation of local inventors, artists, and innovators.
The new DCMS and lottery funded program, Creative Spaces, opened its doors at The Pump in Kitts Green on Thursday 26 May, showcasing a series of new workshop spaces for creative, design, art and technology tools, including state-of- the-art 3D printers.
The facilities, which are split into three creative zones, Music Space,
Levi’s® Media Space and Makerspace, are designed to inspire young people to take part in creative initiatives to help build pathways to employment for future generations.
Charlotte Linforth, Project Director at The Pump, said:
“The Pump has been a lynchpin for local youth projects for over 10 years now, so we are thrilled to announce the official launch of the new Creative Spaces at the centre.”
“Many young people in the area don’t have access to facilities or equipment to engage in creative pursuits and hobbies, so the new spaces will help provide opportunities for them to broaden horizons, raise aspirations and develop key skills for the future.”
“We look forward to welcoming many more young people from all across the city, to get involved in new activities and experience the joy of bringing their creative ideas to life.”
