Online Makerspaces
(Tutorials & Resources)

Online Makerspaces are collaborative online workspaces where everyone can come together in the virtual world to create, learn, explore and share work that is of interest to them. These spaces are also beneficial in helping to prepare those who need the critical 21st century skills in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). In addition, Online Makerspaces can provide opportunities for hands-on learning, help with critical thinking skills and even boost self-confidence.
