3. What is a MakerSpace?What is a MakerSpace?
A makerspace is a place where young people
have an opportunity…
– to explore their own interests.
– to learn to use tools and materials, and develop creative
projects.
– to work ANYWHERE (library, outside, classroom)
– to adapt to a wide variety of uses shaped by educational
purposes including the educator or students’ creative goals.

When a kid builds a model
rocket, kite or birdhouse,
she not only picks up math,
physics and chemistry
along the way, she also
develops her creativity,
resourcefulness, planning
abilities, curiosity and
engagement with the world
