Here is a list of makerspaces and the sites where you can visit and explore. There are three categories:
- Within CUNY: you might be able to access by virtue of being a CUNY student.
- Outside CUNY: Makerspaces from other institutions outside CUNY. While inaccessible to CUNY students, it is nice to know what is out there, and might even help determine if you plan to transfer in the future.
- Public Makerspaces: These are for the public to use, but will need to pay for a membership in order to use the space.
