A Maker's Life: Authentic Makerspaces: A Reflective Workbook Guide for Developing a Makerspace

By Amber Hudson M.Ed and Dr. Marilyn Nash DMin

A Maker's Life: Authentic Makerspaces is a reflective journal and workbook that blends the personal journey of a lifelong maker with a comprehensive guide to makerspace tools, projects, resources, and research. This book empowers readers to craft their own maker's narrative while equipping them with the knowledge to build a makerspace of their own. Designed to inspire creativity, collaboration, and hands-on exploration, this resource encourages experimentation and self-expression in ways never imagined. With engaging challenges and a focus on sparking inspiration, it provides a pathway for makers to share their passion and bring their ideas to life. Being lifelong makers has not only ignited the authors' own goals and passions but has also defined why creative makerspaces grow problem solving and critical thinking skills, provide self-expression opportunities and build a positive safe place of belonging. Through the reflective journal and workbook in this maker's resource, hopefully its readers have been encouraged to gain a sense of clarity and purpose as a maker who may want to do the same for others in a makerspace.
