Free Makerspace Launch Checklist

Stop. Before you buy anything, read this.

Most makerspaces struggle not because of bad ideas, but because of decisions made too early, before the right questions were asked.

The Makerspace Launch Checklist is a free one-page guide for educators, coordinators and community leaders building or planning a makerspace. It covers the four things to think through before you spend a single dollar.

What's inside

  • What a makerspace actually is, and why the philosophy matters
  • The different types of makerspaces and what sets them apart
  • 5 questions to ask before you buy any equipment
  • The people roles every makerspace needs

Built from 15+ years of designing and launching makerspaces at Brock University, Camosun College and beyond.
