What is a Makerspace?

A place where people learn to use tools and materials to develop creative projects
It can be shaped by educational goals, as well as the creative interests of groups or individuals
It is a place to create, and inspire learning

Why is it important?
Using the Makerspace method we can learn how to change and shape the world in small but significant ways, and adapt it to our personal needs. (Dale Dougherty, Make Magazine)
