tinker,maker, solder, pie: maker spaces and libraries
DESCRIPTION
Makerspaces are being created in libraries both public and academic and range from fancy and technology-heavy (3D printers! Arduino workshops!) to simple and crafty (Build your own lego robot! Learn how to knit!). Library lovers and Makers have teamed up with BoingBoing to create LibraryLab, a place to show the world how incredible libraries are. One of LibraryLab’s projects is MAYker Mondays, calling on libraries to create maker events every Monday in May. We’ll showcase the UC San Diego Library’s projects, share information on what other libraries are doing, and most importantly share hands-on how-to’s for Maker events from fancy to simple that anyone can do in their library. We will also share strategies on how to start Makerspaces in your libraries and identify potential partnersTRANSCRIPT

What is Maker Culture?
What is Maker Culture?
“Maker culture” refers to the whole ethos and process of fiddling, tinkering, experimenting, failing, reworking, recycling, upcycling, hacking, and creating. Maker culture does not depend on a perfect setting or dedicated space. It’s a way of looking at the world, creatively testing the boundaries and playing with what you have.

Make it Work For You
“…for season 12 of Project Runway…one of the finalists is using 3D printing… but this individual is able to do this because of the support of a research center at a university. The individual does not own the technology, but has been given carte blanche to use it. I watched it in action — fascinating”. -Tim Gunn
