What is a Makerspace?
A makerspace is a community-operated workspace where people with shared interests, often in technology, engineering, and design, can gather to work on projects, share resources, and collaborate. The purpose of a makerspace is to provide a physical space for individuals to pursue their creative and technical interests, to learn new skills, to collaborate with others, and to build and create projects that they are passionate about. Makerspaces often provide access to tools and equipment, such as 3D printers, woodworking tools, and electronics, that might be too expensive or impractical for individuals to purchase or maintain on their own. The goal is to foster a community of makers, where members can learn from one another, collaborate on projects, and inspire and support each other's creative endeavors.
