Resource talk:How To Create a Makerspace for a Business School

Thoughts

Creating a Makerspace is a great thing to do, students from every educational background can meet and be facilitated in this space to brainstorm and collaborate on how to solve problems that are really happening around them. Many students don't know how to start creating their own business team because they rarely talk and work with students from other educational backgrounds. In my country, Indonesia, it is difficult to find a Makerspace, I think it will be useful and impactful for students to start their creative ideas. -Farrel.piether (talk), Padjadjaran University.

I think this is a great how-to guide. One of the things I particularly think you all really explained well was ensuring that the space one is designing fits the needs of those who are using it while also being something that can be adapted (especially considering the ever-changing nature of college campuses). I would love to see how this idea of a makerspace could be combined with an incubator for continuing guidance for startups. I imagine an idea would come into the business makerspace after it developed further it could officially move into a startup incubator with more specialized guidance/mentorship and more resources.

As both a business student and an individual who works within an institution's Makerspace, I found this how-to guide incredibly insightful. Although Elon University has established a Makerspace on campus in the effort to broaden the horizons of many business-minded individuals, I've found that very few utilize campus' resources. I would love to utilize the advice suggested within this piece by sending out forms to business majors throughout Elon's campus in the effort to gauge what specifically would motivate them to visit and invest within such a space on campus in order to develop the entrepreneurial mindset. -[Wyatt], Elon University;
