Sustainability model for Makerspaces

Info about the Project

Investigating what constitutes a sustainable model for a Makerspace - how the community perceives and attains sustainability. Makerspaces are popular innovation spaces around the world. Through their distributed fabrication capabilities, makerspaces manufactured millions of personal protective equipment for front-line workers during the covid pandemic. Moreover, they contribute significantly to developing community-based learning, entrepreneurship, and STEM education. Unfortunately, many of these spaces experience difficulties and frequently fail.
