Maker/Hackerspace
A hackerspace (also referred to as a hacklab, makerspace, or hackspace) is a community-operated workspace where people with common interests, often in computers, technology, science, digital art or electronic art, can meet, socialize and/or collaborate.
Maker/Hackerspace
Hackerspace – more about the programming, hacking, building of the software/technology
Makerspace – more about the creation using the software, hardware etc
From American Libraries:
“...makerspaces - places to create, build, and craft....where patrons and experts have often come together to learn new techniques and train others in a skill.”
