We know for a fact the atoms are made up of electrons, we have photographed these. They look something like golf balls or burrs, a dimpled spherichal shape with pits or irregular strata.
We also think protons and neutrons make up the central portion but we've never seen that area.
Under quark theory each of these sub-particles (electron, neutron, proton) is made up of various quark charges called quanta and these spin within the sphere to create a particle such as an electron. An electron is made up of many quanta of different quarks that rotate about in a spherical shape to form the electron and make the electric charge.
Under M or String theory quarks or electrons or protons might be accumulations of one dimensional string clusters vibrating in a unison manner. Much like a symphony orchestra.
There is no proof for any of this except some loose mathmatics and physics phenomenon that seems to fit the quanta/quark motif.

Previous persons answer ends at quarks. There is however a string theory that tries to explain what is in quarks. Small vibrating "string" are hypothesized to be even smaller than quarks and are the tiniest things in atoms.

Start at the reference.
Superstring theory considers 1-dimensional 'strings' of energy in 11 or more dimensions to be fundamental. But there is not yet a complete string theory with predictive or explanatory value. M-brane theory extends that concept to multi-dimensional surfaces something like membranes. Same problem as with string theory.

I used to be able to go very very far - but that all came to an end when I tripped over an atom that I had split.

basicly, an atom has positive and negative charges, like a magnet. their are protons, which are postively charged, and neutrons, which are not charged. an atom is positively charged. a proton and a neutron make up a nucleus ( the brain of the atom). lastly, their are electrons, negative charges that race around the atom so fast that to represent it in drawings, people draw a yellow blue around the atom. hope this answered it rather clearly. and nothing makes up these protons, neutrons, and electrons

Leptons: neutrino, electron, muon neutrino, muon, tau neutrino, and tau.
Quarks: particles that make up hadrons. The 6 quarks in order of increasing size: up, down, charm, strange, top, bottom.
Hadrons: particles made up of quarks; examples: protons, neutrons, anti-protons, lambda, and omega
