Field notes from creating the Laurier Library Makerspace
One of the best things you can do in building your makerspace is to go beyond your own walls. While this might sound counterintuitive, building a makerspace is about building a community of people and practice . This pursuit is independent of any particular physical space. A robust makerspace effort prospers in a constellation of other makerly efforts.
Last June I took 15 student volunteers from our Laurier Library Makerspace down to the Kitchener Auditorium where we ran a free workshop for the community. Over this busy weekend at Maker Expo , we taught 522 people how to solder a small blinky badge.
