DIY Pop-Up Makerspace

I created a proposal for a makerspace designed to repair old materials and inspire creative uses of recycled materials. The proposed makerspace takes the shape of a library program run by volunteer guest specialists. If storage, physical space, and grant monies allow, the DIY Pop-Up could culminate into a full-time space dedicated to recycling and creating new plastic resources.
