The first step is to consult with Makerspace staff. If you're unsure of how to incorporate the Makerspace into your class, this meeting can serve as a brainstorming session.

Step 2: Staff Visits Class

A Makerspace staff member will visit your class to ensure students are prepared to properly use the space.

Step 3: Class Visits Makerspace

For the best Makerspace experience, students should come prepared with the file(s) they need. Once students have their designs ready, we welcome them into Makerspace.
