A makerspace is a collaborative workspace for making, learning, exploring, and sharing. In senior school these areas are referred to as STEM spaces

Hands-on learning, no matter the age or stage

What makes a good Makerspace?

What makes a good Makerspace?


Accessibility: A good makerspace should be spacious enough for different learning stations and any necessary equipment, while also allowing enough room for students to move between stations with ease. 

Flexibility: makerspaces need to support various modes of working, so an ideal set-up includes spaces for group collaboration and individual focused work. 

Ample storage: keep unused equipment safe and out of the way with clearly marked storage that is easily accessible to students. This also ensures your makerspace stays uncluttered and safe.
