Makerspace Coordinator Certificate
A Krause Center for Innovation Higher Education Program
What is it?
The Makerspace Coordinator is a certificate program that is designed for people who are seeking employment in makerspaces within community centers, libraries, and educational settings. The program provides instruction and support for building models and prototypes, strategies to spark innovation and invention, and creative problem-solving and collaboration. This certificate is ideal for classified and certificated personnel at school sites, community center volunteers and employees, librarians and assistants, and anyone interested in becoming a creative and collaborative member of a makerspace. This summer, we are offering the program for our first cohort.
The approximate total cost of this program is under $750 (registration for three quarters and 18 units at Foothill College). See https://foothill.edu/reg/cashier/index.html for specific breakdown of Foothill College fees.
