Quotes about Makerspace
Quotes about Makerspace
"A makerspace is a learning environment rich with possibilities. Makerspaces come in all shapes and sizes and serve as a gathering point for tools, projects, mentors and expertise. MAKE: Magazine says a collection of tools does not define a makerspace. Rather, it is defined by what it enables: making." Edutopia

A Bridge to Nowhere
Course Description:
YOU ARE INVITED to come create, collaborate, and dream about engaging hands-on opportunities to use your imagination to “make” things. You will brainstorm, research, and design makerspace stations to be used and enjoyed by peers at Southwest Middle School. Who qualifies to be a “maker”? Someone who dreams big, takes smart risks, and welcomes failure as an opportunity to learn and grow. A maker is someone who shows courage, expresses creativity, and embraces challenge. Be part of a team to create opportunities to expose follow dreamers to things they don’t yet know they love.
