Job training centers are good; maker spaces are much better. In a job training center, you show up and an instructor teaches you a new skill. In a maker space, we all show up and help each other learn how to make things. We all know something about making things, but all of us are smarter together than any of us. A maker space is easy to make; all you need is an old building with water, electricity, and a roof that doesn’t leak. What do we make? That’s up to us, and it’ll be very different things in different places.
