 About this Webinar

What are makerspaces and what impacts are they having on their communities? This talk will take a look at three specific examples of independent makerspaces, focusing on what they are doing do to transform education and support small business development in their communities. It will also explore some of the types of support community makerspaces need to thrive. By exploring these successful community/makerspace partnerships, you will learn how these partnerships can create significant positive impacts in the arts, in small business development, and in technology education so that you can bring your learnings back to the individuals in your area.
