Mollie Walsh -
We’re thrilled to announce that three young makers have officially earned their Junior Maker badge and proudly taken the Maker Pledge! These youth have shown incredible dedication by attending Vector Space educational events like First Friday and Maker Faire Lynchburg. At each event, they participated in hands-on activities designed to ignite creativity, problem-solving, and a love for making. To earn the Junior Maker badge, participants must complete five different event activities within a single calendar year. Once completed, they notify Vector Space staff and are invited to take the Junior Maker Pledge:
As a Junior Maker, I, ______________, understand the value of making and tinkering. I know that the world around me is mine to mold and change, and I will continue to learn skills that I can use to make the world a better place. Making helps people and the planet, and I can use my skills to help others and myself. I will continue to learn and teach others how to make.
Each graduate receives a commemorative wooden badge and a certificate of achievement—a symbol of their hard work and creativity. A new badge design will be unveiled each year, encouraging ongoing participation and skill-building.
We extend a heartfelt thank-you to the Greater Lynchburg Community Foundation for supporting this meaningful youth program.
