Makerspaces
How does it works?
Places for technological experimentation, hardware development and idea prototyping. Self-directed individual inventors.
Classes are generally not for credit and focus on a single skill, such as coding, soldering or woodcarving.
It is used by students and it has become a space for informal project-driven, self-directed learning
It provides workspace to tinker, try out solutions and hear input from colleagues with similar interests.
What is it?
Is a physical location where people
gather to share resources and knowledge, work on projects, network, and build.They provide tools and space in a community environment. It emerges from technology-driven maker culture.
Who's doing it?
It emerges initially as a powerful learning force in the nonacademic community
Members see sharing and learning skills as a key purpose of their makerspace
The emphasis in on community-provided mutual assistance, and the output from students activity might be a robot or a knitted seater that lights up

What are the downsides?
Space in learning facilities is often at a premium, and cost is a consideration in setting up an area for making.
High-end 3D printers that print with a variety of media can be
expensive. Some of these machines can be dangerous, too, raising liability issues.
Finally, much of the value of a
makerspace lies in its informal character
Where is it going?
Participants have room and opportunity for hands-on work
Virtual participation
Video may input from remote experts
Teleoperation may enable manipulation of machinery form afar
