Join Dale Dougherty and a panel of makerspace leaders for a conversation about the challenges of running a community-based makerspace. Some makerspaces closed during Covid, while others survived and some even prospered. We learn more about how these makerspaces are doing, whether their membership has changed and what are some of the priorities and plans for the future. We want to promote the sharing of ideas and lessons learned among the people who lead and operate makerspaces.

“The Voice That Says Life is More Sacred Than Property Must Be Heard!”

Plastic is firmly established in our daily lives, but we all know plastic recycling doesn’t really happen. So what can we do? We can convert starches, fungi, seaweed, even shrimp tails into plastic alternatives and bioplastic.
