DIY Maker Space Creations
So, you've probably heard the term "maker space" thrown around in the past year or two. If you don't know what it is, here are a couple of brief definitions:
Makerspace.com definition:
To describe them simply, makerspaces are community centers with tools. Makerspaces combine manufacturing equipment, community, and education for the purposes of enabling community members to design, prototype and create manufactured works that wouldn’t be possible to create with the resources available to individuals working alone. These spaces can take the form of loosely-organized individuals sharing space and tools, for-profit companies, non-profit corporations, organizations affiliated with or hosted within schools, universities or libraries, and more. All are united in the purpose of providing access to equipment, community, and education, and all are unique in exactly how they are arranged to fit the purposes of the community they serve.
Wikipedia (of all places) describes it quite nicely:
The maker culture is a contemporary culture or subculture representing a technology-based extension of the DIY culture.
