The Framingham Public Library Foundation thanks everyone who has already contributed to the Makerspace project.

But it still has to raise approximately $20K more to bring this creative space to the Framingham Public Library.

What can you do in the Makerspace?

Here are some specifics:

3D Printer: Whatever you can imagine, you can create with a 3D
printer. Everything from toys, to tools, to gadgets. Print a new cell
phone case, a flower pot, a bottle opener, a keychain.

Textiles: Sew, knit, felt, crochet: We'll have sewing machines, knitting
needles, felting supplies ready for you to create something
beautiful. Plus fabric, thread, and accessories.

Coding: Use tools like Makey Makeys, Raspberry Pis, or computers or
tablets to make robots, computer software, and games.

Electronics: Use Snap Circuits, littlebits, LED lights, batteries, and other electronics to create lamps, motors, radios, speakers, or any electronic device you can think of.

Building: Use building materials like legos and other building blocks,
cardboard, wood, tape, glue and glue guns, tools and accessories and
hardware to build whatever your heart desires.

Design and Print: Use design software like Photoshop and InDesign to
create a project and a large format printer and laminator to bring it
to life: posters, maps, projects, artwork, all this and more can be
printed on a large format printer.

Craft: Paints, clay, paper, markers, pencils, charcoal, pastels, and other art supplies.

Plus LEARN and COLLABORATE.

The Makerspace will have programs with experts who will teach and guide you through projects and spark your creativity.
