THINKspot Coordinator

As a senior level librarian, I developed and implemented the first makerspace within an Arizona public library, called THINKspot. I implemented a strategic plan that included a vision and mission for the space. I created policies and procedures for the space, and conducted technology trainings. I supervised a library assistant and a librarian. I formed community partnerships with ASU, local public and charter schools, and small businesses. The objectives of the space were to provide the community with a space to develop their small businesses, as well as learn emerging technologies such as 3D printing.

Technology included: 3D printing and 3D design; computer coding for kids and adults; video editing and recording; and SMARTboards. 

I planned and hosted events in the space, such as entrepreneurship workshops.
