Ang Adamzcik is executive director of the non-profit Arts & Scraps, whose mission is to use recycled industrial scraps to help people of all ages and abilities think, create and learn.
Arts & Scraps provides hands-on learning and creative experiences through programs at its facility and throughout Southeast Michigan with an emphasis in STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) education. We provide a community space for creating, and operate a public store that sells recycled materials at low cost to assist all economic levels.
Arts and Scraps provides recycled materials for minimal cost to 3,300 organizations/classrooms annually, impacting 275,000 children while helping the environment by finding ways to reuse those materials. It connects the private and educational sectors by recruiting and recycling 28 tons of material. The non-profit also assists in training disabled people to gain employment skills.
