A Maker is anyone who wants to build, innovate, or create. From fibre arts to STEM-based projects, we would love to celebrate everything you can make!
A space where imaginations soar; where a shared community joins together in a collaborative movement to change the future. Pickering Public Library’s Maker Space will inspire creativity, foster innovation and empower our residents to meet the demands of an ever-changing global economy. With communal access to 21st century tools and learning styles, you can test your concepts, design, create and build with a community of makers, and bring your ideas to life.
Generally speaking, clients are welcome to supply their own equipment and or material. If you are supplying your own material to use with Maker Space equipment, you are required to speak to staff to confirm compatibility and or pricing before using the equipment.
If you've reached the end of your allotted time with Maker Space equipment and wish to continue using it, please see a Maker Space staff member about making another booking for the equipment. Generally speaking, as long as there is no conflict with a previous client booking, items can be renewed.
