Why MakerSpace? MakerSpaces promote learning through play & experimentation. MakerSpaces are cross-disciplinary, with elements of art, science and craftsmanship. MakerSpaces offer tools and materials that encourage students to create rather than consume. *MakerSpace Pinterest Board: https://www.pinterest.com/LibraryByNikki/makerspaces/
