Makerspace Manifesto
★ Everyone is a maker.
★ If you can imagine it, you can make it.
★ Making is an interdisciplinary endeavor.
★ It’s all right if you fail, as long as you use it as an opportunity to learn and make something better.
★ We help one another do better. Be open, inclusive, encouraging and generous in spirit.
Thank you!
