Programs that provide access to collaborative, creative work spaces inside schools, libraries or other public/private facilities, particularly for children and youth but also for adults and entrepreneurs. Participants are given access to tools, materials and opportunities for hands-on learning and are encouraged to experiment, invent, tinker, design and build. Makerspaces have a variety of options including 3D printers, laser cutters, CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines and other high tech equipment, but they can also be low tech or "no tech" and focus on traditional skills such as sewing.
