What is a Maker Space
There are many different definitions. We will define it as it applies to us, South Coast Innovation Labs. Note maker spaces are sometimes called Hacker Spaces ....
Our Definition[edit]
It is a place where you can go to:
- Get access to equipment you cannot or do not afford yourself.
