A space for innovation, creativity and collaborative problem solving
MAKERSPACES HAVE BEEN gaining popularity over the past decade in K–12 schools, libraries and post-secondary institutions. These spaces invite participants to be involved in innovation, ideation, invention and collaboration. One of the greatest strengths of makerspaces is their ability to connect students to the curriculum through authentic hands-on learning experiences. More than just a physical space, a makerspace is a mindset for creativity and problem solving.
A makerspace does not have to be an entire room filled with thousands of dollars’ worth of equipment. With simple, cost-effective materials, students can be inspired to design, improve and invent.
