Makerspace in our School Space

Here's a list of our haves and have nots.  The cameras are seeing the most use these days, followed by the sewing machines.

You'll notice a 3D printer on my 'Maybe' list.  Do you think that 3D printers are worth the cost?

    WOW! You have a technology suite of tools. Our 3D printers are part of the Design Centre. TI know they get a lot of use. I wonder what the cost of the materials is after the initial purchase?
    I think you could add some great books about makerspaces and some good professional reads for teachers.
    With all those great 'haves' I think you do need a dedicated makerspace.
