1. What is a makerspace?

DAM, which stands for Design And Make, is a space for community members to come to learn, practice skills, collaborate, prototype, and problem-solve. In the DAM, anyone can be a maker and develop a passion for creating.

DAM is meant to be a place to test, tinker, explore, and experiment. See what you can create!
