Who is Karakeeb?
Karakeeb Makerspace is an initiative that started in 2013, by a group of crazy engineers, passionate about technology. It began with the mission of supporting individuals who do not have digital and technical background in general, to support them in their understanding of technology, not only that but also what it could create.

THE WAY WE WORK
GETTING Creative SOLUTIONS
We love to play with electronics, and create things from trash. We are always working on robots, planes, multi-rotors, ROVs, and preparing for new workshops. and we love to share our knowledge with other people.
WORKING WITH PASSION
Our target is to spread the culture of making among people, especially people coming from a non-engineering background and equip the coming generation with essential skills and knowledge to cope with the digital transformation and be able to fit in the future digital world.
our collaborations
We have collaborated with various entities such as Alex Biblotechea, Caritas, UNHCR, Alexandria University, Nile University, the Jesuit cultural center, Goethe, Potential (UAE). We also participate in all the maker events in Egypt and we are partners in the MakerFaire event that takes place every year.
OUR Programs
Our makerspace is open to ages ranging from 5 to 60 years old and anyone can take part through one of the following programs
This program is for families with kids in the age range 5 to 12 years old, this program is held on the weekends, and it allows kids and parents to work together on different projects each weekend, it’s always fun.
This program is for anyone who wants to get started with any new skill, it does not require any technical background or training, just your common sense and your hunger for learning.
You get a basic safety training, and get basic training on various tools and machines, you also work with us on different projects, and workshops, and learn more about our team ethics.
You get limited/supervised access to the space compared to the other levels.
This program is for people who has knowledge and skills, but still willing to learn a few things and help with running things. As a maker you get certain privileges for example:
- You get your own storage area to store your tools/projects
- You get longer access hours
- You get to help people and share your skills
- Start your own projects
This program is for highly skilled makers who are dedicated to help people and make the world a better place, at this level you have unlimited access to the space, but you also have responsibilities, like training volunteers, rookie and makers, and you help maintain the tools and machines.
This program is for people who have ideas for projects and want to work on them, yet they don’t have to commit to helping in the space, basically it’s the same access level as the Rookie program but with no commitments.
