Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Start your own MakerSpace and foster a robust and resilient place for Makers to grow and develop their skills. This book is the perfect guide for those interested in building and making, using a knowledge of art, biology, electronics, or mechanical work.

It’s not enough to just buy a few 3D printers or have some electronics. MakerSpaces span a variety of areas, including art, biology, chemistry, electronics, and mechanics. As you start one, you need to make sure you have the right tools, the right supplies, and the right operation. First, you’ll explore the variety of tools and supplies available, from low-cost to expensive, and see how to use them. Then select the best tools for your MakerSpace, whether for a library, a school, or to open-up to a community. The next phase is operating a MakerSpace. We’ll explore how to lay out your space, control access, and provide training. In addition, this book offers suggestions on how to manage your staff, whether part-time, full-time, or volunteers.

Creating MakerSpaces
is your pathway to a safe, well-maintained, and great environment for Makers in your community!
