It can be formal such as the Thinkbox building at Case Western University but it can also be as informal as in someone's garage.

They are safe spaces to design and build and allow for self-directed learning. Anytime learning can be made fun is a positive and makerspaces allow students to learn without it feeling like a chore.

I like how David Clifford talks about 'finding a common language across content areas' ( at 1 min 43 sec)

While this works really well for many people, the idea of tinkering and creating something does not appeal to everyone. Through the week when I learned about this, I can see the tremendous value in having an area like makerspace available, but this is not something that every type of student would enjoy. While everyone is capable, and should at least try - makerspace could also be a space that creates discomfort for some.

From a personal standpoint, I would not necessarily walk into a makerspace and be completely willing and open initially. For some, levels of trust and community need to be established first in order for full participation. Alternatively, some may walk into a makerspace ready to share and collaborate. I think the acknowledgement of both possibilities is something to keep in mind when viewing the users, or potential users of a makerspace.
