What is The Makery?
The Makery is a makerspace located on the 2nd-floor of CSUSM's University Library. This is a space where members of the CSUSM community can gather, create, invent, tinker, explore, discover and learn new skills using a variety of tools and materials.
Visit us now – we have short activities to get you making right away! Contribute to our paper star garland, design a magnetic puzzle piece for our puzzle wall, make some pinback buttons, play games, and explore our space!
