Sacramento Makers Academy is a private middle and high school where students and facilitators work to finish projects. These projects range in scope and subject matter but must build skills and knowledge that add value to the student and society.

Value can be measured in different ways. In general, if a skill could be added to a resume and increase the likelihood of being hired, it has value. If something can be sold, it has value. If information helps a maker see connections between people, places, history, or beliefs, it has value.
