Makerspace initiatives are paving the way as a bridge between Education and Industry, opening the door for new possibilities in funding, industry partnerships, and advanced certifications. It's time to build Advanced Makerspaces around certification programs focused on developing real-world skills like advanced machining, robotics, programming, and factory automation. Let's make sure that when your students graduate, they can walk straight from the makerspace onto the factory floor.
