What is a Makerspace?

"Makerspaces come in all shapes and sizes, but they all serve as a gathering point for tools, projects, mentors, and expertise. A collection for tools does not define a Makerspace. Rather, we define it by what it enables: making."
-Makerspace Playbook, p. 1

A Makerspace is a Place to:

• Invent
• Design
• Tinker
• Craft
• Collaborate
• Explore

Why Makerspaces?

STE(A)M and Making

Growth Mindset

What’s important is that kids develop the muscle to be fearless learners so that they are never stuck with the skills they have. Only this will prepare them for a world where change is accelerating and depending on a single skill to provide a lifetime career is becoming impossible.
-From, "How Minecraft and Duct Tape Wallets Prepare our Kids for Jobs that Don't Exist Yet" by Zach Klein (EdSurge)
