To go from a place that just offered resources to a place that give students room to create was not an easy process. Before this summer, I didn't know what a makerspace was nor did the very educated people I work with. So, I needed to educate myself on the tools and purpose of a makerspace and I needed to inform and persuade the decision maker I work with that a makerspace was needed on our new E-STEM campus.
So, I sought the advice on Google and I asked other librarians who already had makerspaces the information I needed to get started.
