Makerspaces and hackerspaces have been the center of attention in business, political, and academic research circles in recent years for their ability to both build community and incubate the creation of small businesses by reducing startup costs and barriers to entry.<\/p>\n<p>The evening was kicked off by a presentation from Seth Putnam, a Librarian at Saranac Lake Central School, who recently attended the World Maker Faire in Queens. He relayed how he has personally gravitated to the maker movement which intersects his interests in technology, resource sharing, sustainable community development, education, and making. Different types of spaces exist to meet the needs of the community they are serving. Seth spoke about makerspaces that offer:<\/p>\n<table cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<ul>\n<li>shared woodworking and metalworking equipment<\/li>\n<li>shared commercial kitchen and co-packing spaces<\/li>\n<li>sewing and quilting spaces<\/li>\n<li>tech heavy spaces with\u00a03d\u00a0printers &amp;\u00a0CNC\u00a0machines<\/li>\n<li>media and green screen production rooms<\/li>\n<li>community workshop\/meeting spaces<\/li>\n<li>co-working spaces<\/li>\n<li>and many more<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<td><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4868 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adirondack.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/9427623943_cfb9789a0d_m.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"160\" \/><\/p>\n<h6>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jabella\/9427623943\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Make Magazine 3D Printer Shootout Weeken<\/a>&#8221;\u00a0(<a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY 2.0<\/a>)\u00a0by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/people\/jabella\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"cc:attributionURL noopener\">jabella<\/a><\/h6>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>A short presentation was also given by Ethan Mikesell from HacDC who relayed the space&#8217;s structure, governing model, and close involvement with local schools.

The groups included economic development\/business incubatio, regional network\/collaboration\/coordination, libraries, schools\/education and a Saranac Lake focused discussion. The groups deliberated and shared their passions for nearly an hour before reporting out to the larger group. Many next steps were agreed upon including exploring spaces, encouraging regional collaboration, and local follow-up meetings.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting was co-hosted by Adirondack Foundation, Adirondack North Country Association, GreatRange, The Hub on the Hill, Pendragon Theatre, and Saranac Lake Area Chamber of Commerce.
