Makerspace Basics:
Makerspaces are not just about computer technology.
A makerspace is unique to its community- School, museum, or library.
Everyone can participate in makerspace –younger children, school- aged students, high school students, and adults.
Enthusiasm is very important, and creating a makerspace culture that values what a makerspace can do for a school, museum, library, or community is especially important. Defining and imparting these values to the community is necessary.
Makerspaces can start small. They do not have to be huge endeavors that require large budgets.
Makerspaces are about open-endedness. Yet, they can be driven by skills and themes. As a museum, language arts, librarian professional, I like that I can incorporate my love of history and literature into my makerspace.
