The CLC hosts a Makerspace roundtable.  Check out their website for more information.  

Also, I am sure there are many librarians on this listserv that would be happy to have you come see their space!  I am in middle school so the logistics for me are very different from an elementary setting.  Granby schools have a makerspace at all levels so you could contact Laura Smith! smithl@granby.k12.ct.us

Have fun with the process!!

Hi! Wondering if anyone can be of help with makerspaces-

My colleague and I are in the process of researching and planning a makerspace for our elementary school for the upcoming year. We are wondering if anyone knows of any that we can visit, either during the school year (we'd love to see them in action) or in the summer. Specifically we are interested in:
  •  elementary makerspaces, private and/or public schools
  •  moveable/mobile makerspaces
  •  community makerspaces
  •  public library makerspaces

Thanks,
