Merchandise Description

Recorded: 2018-03-18

Is a makerspace an empowerment center? Can it help reduce drop-out rates? Can it transform someone's life? A makerspace is often seen as a center for innovation, experimental technology and learning center for technology.  But, in reality these tools can create an environment that offers so much more.

Join Amy Vecchione as she discusses the Boise State MakerLab and how they have moved past implementation and created a true community space where the community helps guide resource development and how the space is used. The MakerLab uses student volunteers, the Make It VIP courses and mentoring to create a thriving makerspace with over 600 active users who use the lab to bring ideas to life and develop the confidence to succeed in other aspects of their life.
