2. An expert or enthusiast of any kind. (i.e. an astronomy hacker) (RFC1392, The Internet Users Glossary)
Hackers are:.Problem Solvers

Hackers are:
Passionate, enthusiastic,and innovative

What hackers are not:
![Page 9: Hacking Reality: The Hackerspace Project and the Farming of Innovation.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033106/56649d215503460f949f6486/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Hackers ≠ Crackers
Hackers do not engage in illicit activity!
![Page 10: Hacking Reality: The Hackerspace Project and the Farming of Innovation.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033106/56649d215503460f949f6486/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
But, using the word “hacker” in hackerspacestill might give some the wrong idea…
So,we suggest calling it a “makerspace”instead.
A makerspace with a focus on developingExisting technologies
![Page 11: Hacking Reality: The Hackerspace Project and the Farming of Innovation.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033106/56649d215503460f949f6486/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Aerospace Engineering!
![Page 15: Hacking Reality: The Hackerspace Project and the Farming of Innovation.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033106/56649d215503460f949f6486/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
What makerspaces do:
Even Electric Cars!
![Page 16: Hacking Reality: The Hackerspace Project and the Farming of Innovation.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033106/56649d215503460f949f6486/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Can a makerspace work in a university setting?
![Page 17: Hacking Reality: The Hackerspace Project and the Farming of Innovation.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033106/56649d215503460f949f6486/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Yes!
They are already succeeding in several universities !

• Boston University Group• Student Run (Division of the Association Of Computing Machinery)• Help develop the school’s own linux distribution (BULinux)• Facilitates student-run tech initiatives
![Page 19: Hacking Reality: The Hackerspace Project and the Farming of Innovation.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033106/56649d215503460f949f6486/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• University of South Florida • Student Run• Part of the Engineering School• Started to showcase the tech skills of USF students• Promotes innovation through creative research• High altitude weather balloons andUnmanned Aerial Vehicle experimentshttp://xlabs.eng.usf.edu/
![Page 20: Hacking Reality: The Hackerspace Project and the Farming of Innovation.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033106/56649d215503460f949f6486/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Makerspaces are also appearing in another area:
Libraries!
![Page 21: Hacking Reality: The Hackerspace Project and the Farming of Innovation.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033106/56649d215503460f949f6486/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• Fayetteville Free Library in New York• Spurred the movement to put tinkerspaces in libraries• Offers lots of workshops to the public on a wide range of tech/maker technologies
![Page 22: Hacking Reality: The Hackerspace Project and the Farming of Innovation.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033106/56649d215503460f949f6486/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Why not combine these concepts…
and put a makerspace in a university library?
![Page 23: Hacking Reality: The Hackerspace Project and the Farming of Innovation.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033106/56649d215503460f949f6486/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Why put it in a university library?
• It makes the space inclusive• University admins recognize the
changing state of academic libraries.
• Gets science and tech people involved in the library!
• Gets people in the library engaged with science and technology!
• Helps meet university goals!
![Page 24: Hacking Reality: The Hackerspace Project and the Farming of Innovation.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033106/56649d215503460f949f6486/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Makerspaces can help meet library and university goals by:
Increasing Technical Awareness
![Page 28: Hacking Reality: The Hackerspace Project and the Farming of Innovation.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033106/56649d215503460f949f6486/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Setting up a makerspace:
It’s not as hard (or expensive)as you’d think
![Page 29: Hacking Reality: The Hackerspace Project and the Farming of Innovation.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033106/56649d215503460f949f6486/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
What do you need?
• Space
• Interested People• Website / Blog
• Equipment• A little funding
![Page 30: Hacking Reality: The Hackerspace Project and the Farming of Innovation.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033106/56649d215503460f949f6486/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
But what about the money?
• Hackerspaces are not expensive • They encourage restoration of “old” equipment• In addition, there’s lots of grant funding available
![Page 31: Hacking Reality: The Hackerspace Project and the Farming of Innovation.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022033106/56649d215503460f949f6486/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Funding sources for makerspaces
● Navy STEM grant
● IMLS grant
● Kickstarter funding
drive.

Summing it all up● Makerspaces are places that provide the
opportunity for people to innovate and learn● They aren’t difficult to start up● They fit naturally into the university world● Including them in academic libraries makes them
inclusive and fits where libraries are aiming to go.● Starting one at VSU would help keep the university
at the head of the tech curve, where it has been for some time.
