About this event
Communities are like ecosystems are living things that change and evolve over time. We will unpack different maker identities and the dynamics of those identities and their influence on how your makerspace community has evolved… for good or for ill. This workshop will explore both what the identity of makers have been as well as explore what it could and should be.
