Library Makerspaces• What is a makerspace?• What do they do?
Why?
“Instead of trying to interest kids in
science as received knowledge, it’s
possible to equip them to do science,
giving them both the knowledge and the
tools to discover it. Instead of building
better bombs, emerging technology can
help build better communities.”-Neil
Gershenfeld
