We interviewed Forrest Satterfield, a student from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, who is an active advocate for promoting innovative culture [[File:UAB - Makerspace 1.jpeg|thumb|UAB - Makerspace 1.jpeg]]through creating platforms for students to gain easier access to tools that support their innovative entrepreneurial ventures. As a result, he and his peers created a makerspace at the campus' library. During the interview, Forrest provided insights on how to start a makerspace, how to get funding for it, and most importantly, how to operate the makerspace to ensure that equipment used in makerspace are properly managed and taken care of.

When Forrest and his peers have the idea of creating a makerspace platform, they did not immediately get a space. Instead, they started by occupying an area at the campus library. They would build prototypes in the public area at the library using the pieces of equipment that they begin to bring in. As more people occupied the space, the demand for a private space increase when there was not having enough space for equipments pieces of equipment or materials. Ultimately, Forrest and his peers, along with equipment users, were granted to have space entirely dedicated to a makerspace room by having a divider built between the makerspace and the larger room of the library.
