MakerSpace finds a Permanent Home
Explore all the options in identifying a permanent location for our MakerSpace. Several possibilities but want to establish a room only for MakerSpace. Could be our computer lab, where classes can sign up to use it as a lab or a MakerSpace. Could be an extra classroom that we might have opened due to combining other rooms. Could be making the library smaller and using the other side of the library. Several options. Would love to establish a permanent residency for the MakerSpace room. -
