What, you may ask, is a Makerspace?
A Makerspace is an interactive collaborative space for DIY and technology-based products. You may find a Makerspace in a library, school, or anywhere! It is a hands-on creative space for students to explore interests and use tools and materials to create projects. Essentially it is your place to experiment, collaborate, and learn while having fun!
