The University of La Verne’s fourth annual Makerspaces for Innovation and Research in Academics (MIRA) conference will take place virtually on Thursday, July 15, and will feature a range of solutions from makerspaces all over the country.
Makerspaces are innovative communities that aim to build, craft, and create solutions in a do-it-yourself, think-space environment.
