What is a makerspace?

You might have heard of a makerspace. It’s a buzzword that’s been floating around for a few years now. But what, exactly, is it? A makerspace is a room that contains tools and components, allowing people to enter with an idea and leave with a complete project. The best part is that makerspaces are communal. The goal is to work together to learn, collaborate, and share. Most importantly, makerspaces allow us to explore, create new things, or improve things that already exist. Riverdale’s makerspace is called Imagination Station. Imagination Station includes a variety of stations such as puppets, puzzles, Legos, Kapla Blocks, and a drawing table complete with tracing light boxes.
