OVERVIEW

Adult Education in a makerspace is key to achieving the community outreach you want as well as ensuring your members know how to use your space safely and effectively. This is much more than just sign off classes. If done right, students gain an experience that they will remember forever and will want to continue that education with you and your team. Learn how to quickly offer a full suite of classes that guide students as they increase their skills, from sign off classes, to class tracks, to Success Coaching, and finally personalized Maker Mentoring while adding a solid revenue stream to your makerspace. If you are opening a new space this structure will allow you to open with pre-sold classes so members can use the space immediately and you can achieve sustainability faster.
