Abstract | This paper provides a snapshot of the operation, projects and offerings of an academic library Makerspace in a regional university in Queensland, Australia. It provides the value of Makerspaces in an academic library and the learning needs they achieve; and also reflects on the potential pedagogical impacts of Makerspaces on teaching and learning. In educational settings, the movement of learning through designing and sharing within collaborative settings is fundamental. Although making and creating is not new, Makerspaces are a new way of saving user’s money on tooling and equipment and continues the tradition of building a circular economy for which libraries are famous. Makerspace can be used by all educators and students on any budget, and it is a creative and collaborative way to transform teaching and learning. |
