Who We Are
The Milton MakerSpace Academy is a program of The Improved Milton Experience (T.I.M.E.), a nonprofit organization that supports the livelihood of historic Milton, Pennsylvania. The MakerSpace is a place where people of all ages and backgrounds can gather to work on projects while sharing ideas, equipment, and knowledge. We offer programs focused on manufacturing, gaming, culinary arts, arts & design, and music. We also serve as a hub to other regional MakerSpace initiatives to share best practices and build effective community partnerships.

FEATURED PROGRAM:
Chef's Place houses our Culinary Arts program module and was created in homage to one of our hometown greats, Chef Boiardi! Some of your favorite local dining establishments got started using our incubator kitchen set up. We also host Chef Boyardee activities and events, using our one-of-a-kind Boiardi Museum as the backdrop.
FEATURED PROGRAM:
Our Wood Works program is part of our Manufacturing module. We incorporate hands-on woodworking lessons to benefit our greater community, like our pipe furniture projects that are built by MakerSpace participants and then donated to DIG Furniture Bank to provide to local families moving into housing after crisis.
