Motogo is a program of Skidmark CLE, the non-profit arm launched from the DIY community based concepts of Skidmark Garage. Motogo brings shop class on wheels to schools, recreation centers, and community programs. Rooted in a makers-based approach to hands-on learning, Motogo meets students where they are, builds confidence, and introduces basic hand-tool skills through motorcycle building and engine maintenance

Who we are: Motogo builds confidence by providing a hands-on introduction to real world problem solving & critical thinking through the tangible avenue of motorcycle maintenance. We bring back shop class.

What we do: We bring the generations of skillbuilding once learned in our grandfathers’ garages into the classroom. Through an industrial arts curriculum centered on a getting-your-hands-dirty application, students learn proper tool usage, measurement, calculations and small engine operation and maintenance.

Why we do it: Higher learning and vocational careers should not exist as mutually exclusive entities. ALL students benefit from understanding how machines work. Many schools don’t have the resources to offer shop class in-house, or transport students to an off-site location. Motogo meets students where they are.

Why should anyone care: We provide an opportunity to open up the world of possibilities for students, building Cleveland’s future workforce through the mindset of entrepreneurship, complex problem solving, and machine learning.
