Metro MakerSpace: What's in a Name?

Submitted by victoria.stephens on Wed, 04/04/2018 - 12:37

Wanted: Your Creativity

Why: We need a name for “potential” MakerSpace rooms at Metro, the first of which will be located in the new Bethany Library.

Background: A committee has been working on system guidelines for MakerSpaces, and one of the topics is what to name the space. The committee recommends using the same name for any MakerSpace areas that are developed in the future. The team agreed that we have a lot of staff members who are very creative, so we would like to hear your suggestions for naming the space!
