Brightworks Alumni!

A large group of people, mostly young, sitting on the floor facing a man standing in front of them in an industrial-style room with brick walls, exposed pipes, and wooden and metal structures. The room has string lights hanging from the ceiling.

As we approach the end of Brightworks’ 15th year, we are looking back with immense gratitude at the many students and staff who have called Brightworks, 1960, and the Presidio "home.”

Whether you were here for the very first arc or graduated just last year, you are part of a legacy of curiosity, creativity and adventure.

We know you have incredible stories to share, and we want to hear them!

Welcome Home.

Our goal is to build a vibrant Alumni Directory to help our community stay connected, share opportunities, and support the next generation of makers.

Parents & Alumni: We want to make sure these invitations reach the right inbox! Since we don't always have updated personal email addresses for our former students, please help us bridge the gap.
