Maker Spaces To Solver Spaces
The Evolve Project is a true expert in the field of maker spaces, and we have the knowledge and experience to create the ultimate interactive learning experience for your library environment. We understand that maker spaces are not just about providing tools, but about fostering a culture of experimentation and creativity. Through our work, we empower libraries to turn problems into solutions, ideas into products and provide a safe environment where patrons can tinker and build without fear of failure. We believe that maker spaces are an essential component of any modern library, and we have the skills and know-how to make it happen.
What's a solver space?
Solver Spaces
A solverspace is a collaborative and interactive maker space designed to foster problem-solving and innovation. It would include a wide range of tools, resources and equipment to support experimentation, prototyping and testing. The space would also provide expert guidance, coaching and support to help individuals and teams develop their ideas and turn them into tangible solutions. Furthermore, the space would also provide a culture of learning and continuous improvement, and it would be open for everyone to use regardless of their skill level or background.
