The Brookfield Education Foundation has awarded a major grant to the Brookfield Library for the creation of a Mobile Makerspace. The grant will allow for the provision of a 3D printer, a computerized sewing machine, a Dell Inspiron PC laptop, a MacBook Pro laptop, and 6 Arduino starter kits. The Makerspace will expose the community to new technologies, foster project collaboration and participatory learning, supplement small businesses, and promote STEAM education. The library will be holding classes and programs to teach adults, teens, and kids how to use the equipment, positioning the library to act as a community center for people to gather, learn, and work together.
