I asked our SXSWedu panel charged with sharing details about their Schools’ Vortex: Innovative Library Makerspaces. Much like that student’s creation, Makerspaces are sparking a transformation in the nuclei of a school—the library. The learning didn’t stop once the pumpkin made it inside the library.

In many cases elementary schools have even taken fun out of school for kids by cutting recess. When I hired Laura Fleming in 2013 to take over the traditional library she was tasked with giving it a reboot and was given complete autonomy to do so.

Elementary and middle school students will be able to attend field trips and summer camp programs at the space to gain exposure to project-based learning experiences with high-tech tools. We like to think of it as a souped-up public library with tech tools instead of books. Coca Cola Building, Image Credit: Monica Bilak.
