Maker-Made Store
This is where you will find a variety of items made in the community and by makers across North Carolina. Get your maker supplies such as 3D printer filament, electronic parts, and other raw materials for making. Science kits and educational products are available for school STEM programs and makerspaces or for parents or grandparents looking for STEM activities with their child.
Launch Your Business
Use the resources of STEAM Junction to help start your own business. From engineering help and advice, to rapid prototyping and short run manufacturing. We can help by connecting you to resources from all parts of the manufacturing process (supply chain to marketing and sales).
Teach
Share what you know with others and make some extra cash. We are interested in instructors in wide variety of subject areas. Depending on the topic we can provide a curriculum or use your own. Talk to us about becoming an instructor.
Sell
Do you make something you'd like to sell? Place it in the Maker-Made store! We have the best consignment rates around. Can be anything from one-off items to small production runs, to arts and crafts and technical products. We love to promote items made in NC, especially Alamance County.
