The hope and perhaps expectation is that this could foster unexpected ideas that could be turned into product prototypes at the\u00a0makerspace. One example that was shared with me was the DIY furniture (e.g., tables and cupboards) of the makerspace.\u00a0Two startups came up with the idea of using the project to explore working together. They planned, created, and then donated the furniture to the makerspace.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_235\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-235\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-235 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.annakeune.com\/360makerspaces\/files\/2017\/01\/Screen-Shot-2017-01-25-at-10.31.31-PM-300x300.png\" alt=\"Darth Vader LED at the Stgo MakerSpace\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.annakeune.com\/360makerspaces\/files\/2017\/01\/Screen-Shot-2017-01-25-at-10.31.31-PM-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.annakeune.com\/360makerspaces\/files\/2017\/01\/Screen-Shot-2017-01-25-at-10.31.31-PM-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.annakeune.com\/360makerspaces\/files\/2017\/01\/Screen-Shot-2017-01-25-at-10.31.31-PM-768x766.png 768w, https:\/\/www.annakeune.com\/360makerspaces\/files\/2017\/01\/Screen-Shot-2017-01-25-at-10.31.31-PM.png 898w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-235\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Darth Vader LED at the Stgo MakerSpace<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Youth workshops by startups \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0Those firms that are located in the startup and innovation center and are using the makerspace to prototype projects from alternative musical instruments to sculptures of recycled materials are encouraged to pass on their learning.
