The GET City Collaborative provides sustained informal engineering design experiences for youth in Michigan and North Carolina. We focus on youth as Community Science Experts and support youths' powerful brilliance as STEM-rich makers as they seek to work towards justice in their maker clubs and communities.

Founded in 2006, GET City has provided learning, mentoring, and research opportunities to youth ages 10-18.
