Makerspaces (often associated with Hackerspaces, but with broader interests inspired by the Maker Movement and Make Magazine) are community centers equipped with tools that "can take the form of loosely-organized individuals sharing space and tools, for-profit companies, non-profit corporations, organizations affiliated with or hosted within schools, universities or libraries, and more" that removes barriers and costs so that people can experiment and learn.[1][2] According to the Oxford Dictionary, a makerspace is "a place in which people with shared interests, especially in computing or technology, can gather to work on projects while sharing ideas, equipment, and knowledge."[3]
