I recently was the recipient of the first Community Maker Award from Make: Magazine. Dale Dougherty, the founder of Make: asked me to write Matt's story in the first person for this month's issue of the magazine.

We are proud of our newest maker space at UPMC Western Psychiatric. Our 29th space to open, it is a first in a mental health hospital. Ages 3 - 93 will be able to tinker, create and dream! Welcome to the Matt's Maker Space family! #makered#mentalhealthmatters#remakelearning
In the latest episode of UPMC NOW, we're celebrating the opening of a new @mattsmakerspace at UPMC Western Psychiatric. The new space, which opened in May, is the first Matt's Maker Space in a behavioral health hospital.
So proud to support maker spaces at @MTLSD! We now have @mattsmakerspace Matt's Maker Spaces at all 7 elementary schools AND the two middle schools! @leboproud
@ScottMaurerMD @dfisher445 @NewsHour@ScottMaurerMD , thanks for sharing. Keep up the great work you do with our families. Our family knows that without pediatric supportive care, it is so difficult to navigate a child’s death. I only wish we knew you when we needed you most!❤️
@Mattsmakerspac1 was recently awarded a $20,000 grant from the @AlcoaFoundation continue our work providing maker spaces to schools, community centers, libraries and hospitals. We have been working on three new spaces which we will announce soon!
