Makerspace

The James Sprunt Community College Makerspace is a location in which the students, faculty, and guests of the James Sprunt Community College Library can go to tinker and create using specialty tools and devices designed to both encourage creativity and give the users a hands-on way of engaging with their courses through the creation of items that either directly relate to their studies or can be used to enhance their course projects. For non-students, the Makerspace grants them a space where they can make use of tools they may not otherwise have access to to create items they may otherwise have never thought they could.

The JSCC Makerspace hopes to encourage the creativity of its users and inspire them to use that creativity to move themselves ahead in life. As with other Makerspaces in Public Schools, Community Colleges and other institutions of higher learning across the country, learning through hands-on work is an integral part of the JSCC Makerspace experience. Whether users take what they learn and applies it to their continuing education at JSCC or elsewhere, their employment under others, or even are inspired to lead small business ventures of their own, the Makerspace is provided to help inspire that education and interest from start to finish.
