What is a makerspace?

A makerspace is designed to help students develop the 5 Key Competencies and cover a range of school subjects.

It can be a table in the corner of your classroom, a dedicated space in your library or its own fully stocked room. The goal is to give your students all the tools and space they need to learn, problem solve, plan, collaborate and create.

From consultation, to design, to the implementation, our Specialists can help you develop the ideal makerspace for your school:
