Made Makerspace

Grades: 3 - 12
Video Description: You could call it a phoenix of sorts. The MADE Makerspace is something new emerging from something that saw a very sudden end. Co-founder Jim McKelvey says, “There are amazing things that happen in a makerspace. People who want to create have access to tools that they would never otherwise be able to use. So we have a bunch of laser cutters here that are fantastic. We have a water jet that will cut through four inches of steel. We have shop bots and hand tools. We have embroidery machines and Cadcam software.”
