Spaces where Ideas Flow
Some call them Makerspaces, others Hackerspaces, Labs, Fab Labs, Hubs or Innovation Spaces, will depend on your culture and context.
I like to think of them as spaces where ideas flow. Between people, through people, growing and becoming real.
Get in touch if you want help creating a space where ideas flow.
