MISSION Agape Werks is a community-based organization committed to academic enrichment with a special emphasis on exposing Chicago youth to the opportunities that are possible through STEM topics. Firmly rooted in the spirit of inclusion, Agape Werks delivers programs in locations of greatest need, but serves all interested youth. The mission is realized by empowering youth to make items that are interactive, kinetic, intelligent, or any combination of the three. VISION Our youth will develop problem solving skills, positive character traits, and an appreciation for technology as a way to improve their lives and the lives of others. They will be inspired to be part of something larger than themselves and to gain skills, experiences, and education necessary to accomplish any goal. They will do so in a supportive environment that celebrates group accomplishments while encouraging individual excellence. In turn, they will share their learning, enthusiasm, and appreciation for science and technology with the larger community.
