Genetic Makerspaces - How to create a sustainable school makerspace

Maker Faire Bay Area 2024

October 18th-20th

Creating a SUSTAINABLE middle or high school makerspace is a daunting task and with so many unknowns. What are they? How much funding is needed? How do they fit into educational pathways? How do you fund them? What do the teachers need? Admin goals? What are the desired outcomes for students? What tools, equipment, infrastructure, furniture, and technology? Why even create them?

It's not just about the space and the tools/technology objects within. It's a philosophy of making more capable humans. It's about helping students discover their inner maker and finding their own path forward in life.

At Genetic Education, we offer (on-line) master classes in makerspaces, curriculum, and consultation services. We can help you every step of the way, from idea, to ribbon cutting, and beyond.
