Kitsap CREATE

A nonprofit organization

Established in 2015, Kitsap Computing, Robotics, Electronics, Art & Technology Enthusiasts (CREATE) (formerly Kitsap Robotics) is an organization recognized by local and district schools, colleges, educators, community leaders and area businesses as a proven leader in technology and dynamic outreach programs. Kitsap County school districts, local colleges, hobbyists and parents, have demonstrated strong interests in Science, Technology, Engineering, [Arts] & Mathematics (STEM/STEAM), with specific emphasis toward focused, hands-on learning. Students did not have a resource outside of our education system to pursue this growing interest and most turned to the hobbyist community for continued support.

Kitsap CREATE bridged this gap by providing a consortium of professionals, engineers, military and Department of Defense employees, educators and hobbyists to collaborate with and mentor those who want to learn and expand their knowledge and proficiency, in Science Technology Engineering, Mathematics (STEM), Arts and Robotics.  Our mantra; “Learn, Build, Mentor” encompasses the philosophy of collaborative effort with a “Pay-It-Forward,” results oriented focus. Those who benefit from the teaching of others also reciprocate to teach and mentor, thus exponentially expanding the circle of learning.

Mission

Our mission is to support the creative exploration of our community through knowledge and experience transfer as well as sharing collective resources with a pay-it-forward philosophy.

Needs

Kitsap CREATE is seeking additional resources to support our outreach programs and make progress toward our goal of establishing a local "makerspace" in Kitsap County.
