When you start a Makerspace, there are so many things to consider. When I was starting mine I did a lot of reseach to see what kind of technology and supplies people have in theirs. Now I call this a wishlist, because I do now have most of these things and also because you really do not need all of this to have a true Makerspace. Making can happen with cardboard and tape, so do not feel obligated to go out and purchase everything. Think about your budget, mission and space... Then get the basics and build up from there.
This list was made by myself and some colleagues in the district. I included prices. Many of these items are available through their company websites or Amazon. Please leave comments with other things I have not included. I am always on the look out for new materials and tools to try and include in our Makerspace. Happy making!
