Free, public access to tools and materials ✊🏾
Cambridge, MA is home to The Hive, a maker space in the lower level of the the main branch of the public library. For five months, I was the temporary manager of the space and it was at once grounding, challenging, and inspiring.
The two durable contributions I made:
- A three part safety training video series.
- I created a Google Quiz and embedded training videos which patrons would watch, and then be quizzed on. This enabled us to patrons to take the training at their own leisure, while giving us the confidence they took away the necessary information.
- The Hives operating schedule template
- An extremely thorny problem
The Hive is driven by a mandate to provide free, public access to tools and materials.
This is a feels totally revolutionary to me.
Free, publically accessible tools and materials,
The goals are many: cultivate STEAM literacy, creativity, empowerment and more.
