FutureMakers Academy is a hands-on STEM enrichment program empowering at-risk and underserved youth across
Northeast Georgia to explore technology, creativity, and problem-solving. Hosted by The TechBridge Foundation Inc., this academy bridges curiosity with opportunity—helping young minds discover how science, engineering, and teamwork can shape their futures.

Why It Matters
Many middle school students in our service area lack consistent access to STEM exposure or mentorship.
