Makerspaces

Makerspaces are one of my favorite additions to any school or library.  The hands on learning is such and advantage to any facility.  What is a Makerspace? Makerspace for Education puts it better than anyone “Imagine DIY meets education!”’  A makerspace has materials ready to be used to ignite an imagination. Makerspace can have items people might normally recycle all the way up to computers and 3D printers.  It all depends on the facility and their budget. Luckily for many children it doesn’t take a lot to get their imagination flowing.  They can find ways to help their communities, their environment or even build a robot.  The sky is the limit!
