MakerSpace - Camp Lejeune - New River Libraries - LibGuides at Marine Corps Community Services Libraries

Makerspaces are zones of self-directed learning. Their hands-on character, coupled with the tools and raw materials that support invention, provide the ultimate workshop for the tinkerer and the perfect educational space for individuals who learn best by doing. Interaction among inventors fosters a highly collaborative learning dynamic that is excellent for team efforts and for peer support, advice, and assistance. These places promote multidisciplinary thinking and learning, enriching the projects that are built there and the value of the makerspace as an educational venue.
