Most of the things that involve computers are solitary endeavors. Writing. Programming. Building electronics projects. It’s not unheard of for creative-minded geeks to lock themselves away for days at a time, isolated from the world, and hack away on their projects.
But the problem is, that’s not particularly healthy.
People are social animals who crave interaction, and affirmation. They’re collaborative beasts. Which is why countless developers, digital artists, makers, and engineers have launched ‘makerspaces’.
What Is A Makerspace?
Makerspaces – also known as ‘hackerspaces’ and ‘hack labs’ – exist to provide a common space (and often the raw materials) for members of the local maker community to work collaboratively on creative projects. Overwhelmingly, makerspaces are operated by the community, for the benefit of the community, and without any profit motive.
