HYPE Makerspace | Detroit Public Library The HYPE Teen Center is a place where the passions of young adults are inspired through the spirit of invention, creativity, learning, and do-it-yourself (DIY) culture. The HYPE Makerspace within the HYPE Teen Center was created through a generous grant from the Cognizant – Making the Future initiative in April of 2012. Young adults work in groups with expert instructors during our weekly workshops. Once teens learn the basics of various skills, they are then allowed to go beyond the set curriculum and create new inventions and art of the teens’ vision. HYPE provides a variety of Makerspace workshops. ElectronicsLearn the basics of how electronics work, and take control of the electronic world around you. Graphic Design Show your artistic side!
