Makerspace Community Gallery

Welcome to our makerspace community gallery! This is a space to share with educators and inspire schools with the many possibilities of what a makerspace could be! 
"Makerspaces come in all shapes and sizes, but they all serve as a gathering point for tools, projects, mentors, and expertise. A collection of tools does not define a makerspace. Rather, we define it by what it enables: making." 
​
Makerspace Playbook School Edition 2013
A makerspace can take many forms, from an entire library transformed into a learning commons, a CTS lab, an early learning Atelier inspired by Reggio Emilia, or bins, buckets and carts that form a mobile makerspace. What is important before you begin the physical transformation of a space, is to consider the pedagogical implications of transforming teaching and learning first. The space can then be determined based on budget, physical location and access for students. 

The photos below are from the makerspaces of our community members! Please contact us to share your makerspace with our community!
