What is A MakerSpace?A space with materials for students to let their curiosity and imagination come to life. An informal, playful, atmosphere for learning to unfold. A space with little directions, where making rather than consuming is the focus. A space where transdisciplinary learning, inquiry, risk-taking, thinking, crafting, tinkering, and wondering can blossom.
~Ann Smart "Makerspaces come in all shapes and sizes, but they serve as a gathering point for tools, projects, mentors. and expertise. A collection of tools does not define the makerspace. Rather, we define it by what it enables: making." -Makerspace Playbook My MakerSpace ExperiencesMAUCL 2016 Showcase Theater Materials
