MakerSpace is a place where children explore, create new things, or improve things that already exist. These spaces foster open-ended learning. Children naturally tinker; they build things and take things apart – especially when they're allowed the freedom to work without direction. MakerSpaces encourage natural creativity.
Students practice critical thinking skills, challenge their imaginations, and come up with solutions to real-world problems.
MakerSpaces are really helpful for STEAM related activities. They are also safe places for students to fail. Students learn by trial and error, improving with each attempt.
At the core of a MakerSpace is the maker mindset of creating something out of nothing and exploring your own interests.
