English abstract

A makerspace is a community-operated, often "not-for-profit" workspace where people with common interests can meet, socialize and collaborate, around computing, machinery, technology, science or art. The maker movement emerged from combining digital tools and open source sharing to create physical and digital objects. The first manifestations of this initiative were in the open membership hackerspaces that became popular throughout Germany in the 1990s in the orbit of the Chaos Computer Club in Berlin (1981). There are many positive reasons for providing a makerspace in a library, ranging from providing access to a wide variety of tools and technology; facilitating group interaction, knowledge and resource sharing; providing an open environment for the expression of creativity and innovation; prototyping; empowering the community; fostering community collaboration and co-creation; developing critical thinking and decision-making skills; fostering a culture of lifelong learning; and fostering intergenerational relationships and social connectedness.

Spanish abstract

Un makerspace es un espacio de trabajo operado por la comunidad, a menudo “sin ánimo de lucro”, en el que las personas con intereses comunes pueden reunirse, socializar y colaborar, en torno a la informática, la maquinaria, la tecnología, la ciencia o el arte. El movimiento fabricante surgió de combinar las herramientas digitales y el intercambio de código abierto para crear objetos físicos y digitales. Las primeras manifestaciones de esta iniciativa se dieron en los espacios de “hackers” con membresía abierta que se hicieron populares en toda Alemania en la década de 1990 en la órbita del Chaos Computer Clubde Berlín (1981). Hay muchas razones positivas para ofrecer un makerspace en una biblioteca, que van desde proporcionar acceso a una amplia variedad de herramientas y tecnología, facilitar la interacción de grupo, el conocimiento y el intercambio de recursos; proporcionar un entorno abierto para la expresión de la creatividad y la innovación; creación de prototipos; empoderar a la comunidad; fomentar la colaboración comunitaria y la co-creación; desarrollo de la capacidad crítica y la toma de decisiones, impulsar la cultura del aprendizaje a lo largo de toda la vida, así como favorecer las relaciones intergeneracionales y la conexión social.
