Unleash Creativity

When a kid builds a model rocket, kite or birdhouse, she not only picks up math, physics and chemistry along the way, she also develops her creativity, resourcefulness, planning abilities, curiosity and engagement with the world around her.

- Dale Dougherty

What is a MakerSpace?

A makerspace is a place where young people have an opportunity – to explore their own interests, – to learn to use tools and materials, and

develop creative projects.– to work in a simple room in a building (library)– to adapt to a wide variety of uses shaped by

educational purposes including the educator or students’ creative goals.
