Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of a Makerspace.

The Basic Makerspace Starter Kit includes:

MakerspaceWelcomeLetter.pdf

MakerspaceStarterKit1.pdf (Sign and free resource list)

MiniMakerNotebookv1.pdf

The Deluxe Makerspace Starter Kit aka the Gift Version adds either a laser cut or 3D printed makerspace sign.

MakerSpaceSignLaser.pdf for laser cutting on Epilog Zing.

MakerspaceSignTop3D.stl and MakerspaceSIgnBase3D.stl for 3D printing.

MakerspaceSignVector.svg to modify for material thickness.

The Workshop Makerspace Starter Kit aka Makerspace in a Bag includes all the previous items plus a 3D printed object, an LED throwie and other maker projects that can fit inside a plastic sandwich bag.

The idea of the Makerspace Starter Kit is to reduce the conceptual barrier to entry by changing the mindset from starting a makerspace to strategies for growing a makerspace.
