Eighteen projects will receive funding to create or expand Makerspaces across Maryland.
The Maryland Technology Development Corporation (TEDCO) announced the awardees for the second round of the Maryland Makerspace Initiative Program. This year’s awardees include 18 projects spanning nine counties and Baltimore City.
Makerspaces provide the space and means for community members to design, prototype, and manufacture items using inaccessible or unaffordable tools, such as 3-D printers, digital fabrication machines, and computer-aided design software.
