How To Create a Makerspace: A Real-World Case-Study
You may already be a Makerspace expert or the concept of Makerspace is relatively new to you. Whatever your level of exposure to the Makerspace movement is, this book can help you make good decisions about developing your Makerspace based on proven things that I initially did wrong and later, my small team and I, got right. This plan discussed in this eBook is step-by-step route to success.
This book is about getting your Makerspace off the ground, by example. My intention with this eBook is to help you understand a bit more about what a Makerspace is (if you are not familiar with Makerspaces). For the expert and novice alike, I provide a case study that you can use, modify, and provide. Also, I will be updating this eBook with your suggestions for improvement or additional content (I’ve provided my contact information and other resources at the end of this book). With a plan that was actually implemented with good success, in contrast to a theoretical plan. Further, there are several important resource links that will help you to continue to build your Makerspace community one you’ve launched your particular “Phase 1” initiative.
Further, the Makerspace that was implemented based on this case study plan (actually two Makerspaces were started), are a testament to the inspired vision of the organization’s CEO who had the vision and guts to provide space, some personnel and a start-up stipend that gave the middle-management team enough ‘juice’ to begin two Makerspaces in less than a few-month’s timeframe. Looking back, our Makerspace(s) has been a great success in terms of the numbers of community members who now use the space and the ‘repeat offenders’ who frequent our very creative experimental space.
Also, this book was written with notes that I put together for our project, which eventually lead to the opening of two organizational Makerspaces. This eBook is written to give a bit of direction (and maybe some additional hope) to individuals, organizations (schools, companies, etc.), and the for-profit and non-profit groups who are thinking about forming some sort of Makerspace a bit more of a direction to implement one.
