We see makerspaces in classrooms and libraries in many of our schools, but how can students find ways to turn their passion for making into a career? Join Shaun Kain, Gabe Diaz and Jewyl Alderson at the Maketory, a local industrial co-working space, for a discussion on making at the K12 level and how entrepreneurs are making a career out of making in spaces like the Maketory. This supersized episode being released right before the gift giving season also includes a discussion of the best gifts for the makers in your life!

  • Although this episode focuses on utilizing makerspaces for professional use, you do not need to be a business owner to join Maketory. Maketory provides access for students, hobbyists, and anyone looking to develop their skill sets, whether it be for personal or professional reasons.

  • Maketory gift cards are available! Gift cards can be applied to classes or memberships and are a great way to inspire creativity during the holidays!
