Briefly summarize the project by completing the following::  
The goal of this project is to provide a space and the tools to support lifelong learning for community 
members who are 13 years of age and older. The Buckeye Public Library seeks to establish a makerspace 
to support this goal. Makerspaces are designed as a collaborative workspace for people of all ages to 
explore, learn, create, and share ideas by using a variety of resources and tools. Funds will be used to 
purchase makerspace equipment and materials, including a three-dimensional (3D) printer, sewing and 
embroidery machine, vinyl printer, and other tools. These tools will support hands-on learning, 
technology access, and skill development programs at the Buckeye Public Library. Community members

3
will benefit from this makerspace because it will support lifelong learning and introduce new and 
innovative technology and skill-building opportunities.  
 
What audiences are you targeting with this project and why?:  
This project targets community members aged 13 and older to expand access to makerspace resources 
and innovative technology for teens and adults alike. Makerspaces provide hands-on learning 
opportunities that introduce participants to advanced technology, Science, Technology, Engineering, 
Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM)-based tools, and creative skill development. The Buckeye Public Library 
will use an open lab model and STEAM programming to ensure that participants can explore, learn, and 
build at their own pace while gaining practical experience. This approach supports lifelong learning, 
workforce readiness, and equitable access to emerging technologies for a broad community audience. 
According to Walden University, makerspaces promote collaboration, creativity, resilience, and 
communication skills while providing educational equity to the community (The Benefits of a 
Makerspace Learning Environment | Walden University). Additionally, learning styles vary from person to 
person, and the makerspace supports differentiated and inclusive learning by providing hands-on 
experiences rather than learning solely from a textbook. Lastly, makerspaces aid students' preparation 
for careers focused on problem-solving, creativity, adaptability, and technological literacy. These skills 
are in high demand for creative and STEAM industries. (The Power of Makerspaces: Research-Backed 
Benefits for 21st-Century Learning).  
 
What community needs or opportunity does your project address?:  
This project addresses the community’s need for greater access to hands-on STEAM learning, advanced 
technology, and skill-building opportunities for teens and adults ages 13 and older. Many community 
members do not have access to makerspace tools or emerging technologies, such as 3D printers, 
embroidery and sewing machines, vinyl printers, etc., limiting opportunities for creative exploration, 
workforce development, and lifelong learning. The Buckeye Public Library will provide an open lab-style 
makerspace with STEAM-based programming. An article by learning.com mentions that greater 
emphasis on digital learning and literacy is in society’s future. Additionally, the emphasis is on not only 
technical skills, but critical thinking, problem solving, and creativity. This project creates an opportunity 
for residents to build new skills, explore innovative technology, and engage in meaningful, hands-on 
educational experiences. By providing community access to these makerspace tools and technologies, 
learners have the opportunity to explore potential educational and/or workforce interests, such as 
woodworking, textiles, STEAM curriculum, 3D printing, etc. This project also supports digital equity, 
workforce readiness, and the Buckeye Public Library’s role as a community hub for learning and 
innovation. 
 
How do you know this is a need?:  
Buckeye is a rural area with population clusters spread over 640 square miles, covered by greater than 
90% agricultural/open space, 2% industrial/commercial use, and 4% residential. The World Population 
Review estimates a population of over 124,000 located 25 miles west of Phoenix. More than 27% of 
Buckeye’s residents are under the age of 18. The community includes 37,486 households. Buckeye’s 
main ethnic breakdown is 48% Latino, 42% White, 6.4% Black, and 3.6% two or more races. The average 
income is $54,322, the median age is 36 years, and 8% of households are below the poverty level 
(Buckeye, Arizona Population 2026). Buckeye has thousands of miles of dirt, gravel, and hiking trails 
within Buckeye. Large portions of Buckeye have been federally identified as historically disadvantaged in 
terms of transportation, health, equity, environmental indicators, Risk Management Plan (RMP) facility 
proximity, wastewater discharge, flood risk, education, income, socioeconomic indicators, 
unemployment, and a high level of vulnerability to negative effects caused by external stresses on

4
human health. The requested makerspace project and the specific items related thereto are part of the 
Buckeye Library Master Plan 
(https://www.buckeyeaz.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/12943/638270113870330000). During the 
crafting of the Buckeye library Master Plan Buckeye engaged the public for feedback. Also, a technology 
evaluation survey was sent out to the public, asking what technologies they would like to see in the 
library. As indicated by the aforementioned demographics, which indicate rapid population growth with a 
large youth and working-age population, there is a strong need for educational and skill-building 
opportunities for teens and young adults. These community members would benefit from access to 
STEAM and technology resources. Overall, Buckeye is a fast-growing and diverse community where 
access to advanced technology and hands-on learning opportunities are currently limited, creating a 
need for library-based makerspace services that support lifelong learning and workforce readiness. By 
providing a makerspace with STEAM programming and open lab access for ages 13 and older, the 
Buckeye Public Library will help meet the community’s needs for technology access, skill development, 
and innovative learning opportunities that align with Buckeye’s growing and evolving population. 
 
How does this project relate to your library’s mission or other plans (such as a technology plan)?:  
Buckeye currently provides the following services: free WiFi, public access computers, and thousands of 
books and DVDs covering a myriad of topics. Access can be obtained at the library and remotely from 
any computer, tablet, or smartphone with an internet connection. The Buckeye Public Library’s mission 
includes expanding digital literacy, fostering innovation, and providing equitable access to educational 
resources. This makerspace project directly supports the Buckeye Public Library’s mission and 
technology plan by inspiring, engaging, and connecting patrons with current and emerging technologies 
while providing equitable access to tools that support lifelong learning, workforce development, and 
education. The requested makerspace project and the specific items related thereto are part of the 
Buckeye Library Master Plan. The makerspace aligns with the Buckeye Public Library’s technology goals 
by modeling changing technology, offering hands-on STEAM learning opportunities, and giving teens and 
adults ages 13 and older access to innovative tools such as 3D printing and other emerging technologies 
that are often too expensive or unavailable in the community. This project also supports the Buckeye 
Public Library’s commitment to identifying new technologies that provide enriching opportunities for 
patrons to strengthen digital literacy, creativity, and career readiness. By offering open lab access with 
STEAM programming, the makerspace advances the Buckeye Public Library’s role as a community hub 
for technology, innovation, and lifelong learning while meeting the needs of Buckeye’s growing and 
diverse population. Buckeye Public Library staff will monitor all makerspace tools and technologies to 
ensure proper usage and care. 
 
What specific change(s) do you intend to achieve with this project?:  
The Buckeye Public Library intends to increase access to makerspace technology and STEAM learning 
opportunities for community members ages 13 and older. The anticipated result is improved digital 
literacy, technical skills, and confidence in using emerging technologies through hands-on makerspace 
experiences and open lab programming. This project will also support lifelong learning and workforce 
readiness in Buckeye. Through this project, the Buckeye Public Library intends to promote educational 
equity while helping individuals build resilience, creativity, communication, and collaboration skills. 
Buckeye Public Library staff will collect qualitative direct feedback from participants about their 
experiences and perceived skill improvements. Participation numbers and engagement levels (number 
of times used, time spent using the makerspace, repeat users) will also be measured and serve as 
indicators. 
 
Briefly explain why you have selected this outcome, tying it to the Needs Assessment provided.:

5
The makerspace tools and technologies outcome was selected because the Needs Assessment shows a 
clear demand for increased access to makerspace technology, STEAM learning, and hands-on skill-
building opportunities for community members ages 13 and older in Buckeye. With a rapidly growing 
population, a large youth and working-age demographic, and limited access to advanced technology, the 
community would benefit from opportunities that build digital literacy, technical skills, and workforce 
readiness. Buckeye intends to provide the resources to accommodate these present and future needs. 
The outcome directly addresses these needs by focusing on expanding access to emerging technologies, 
supporting lifelong learning, and providing meaningful hands-on experiences through an open lab 
makerspace model and STEAM programming. This ensures that the project creates measurable change 
by improving access, skills, and confidence in using technology for Buckeye’s growing and diverse 
community. 
 
What will you do, and how will you do it? Give specific information about the types of activities, 
number of programs, or resources you will make available.:  
The project will create a dedicated makerspace room at Buckeye’s Coyote Branch Library equipped with 
a 3D printer, carbon dioxide (CO2) laser cutter, vinyl cutter, and sewing and embroidery machine to 
provide hands-on technology access for community members ages 13 and older. The makerspace will 
offer regular open lab hours where patrons can independently use equipment, along with one structured 
hands-on STEAM program each month to teach participants how to safely and effectively use the 
makerspace tools. The STEAM program will be conducted by Buckeye Public Library staff. Additional 
resources will include how-to videos, instructional guides, and staff support to ensure users can learn 
and build skills at their own pace. This combination of open lab access, availability of staff for help, 
monthly programming, and instructional resources will create consistent opportunities for hands-on 
learning, creativity, and technology skill development in the Buckeye community. Based on the 
popularity of this program, the Buckeye Public Library may expand this program in the future to allow for 
greater availability and community opportunities. Additionally, the Buckeye Public Library may 
potentially partner with local schools and job training programs for targeted outreach. 
 
What steps has your library taken to prepare for this project?:  
The Buckeye Public Library has taken several steps to prepare for this project by researching 
makerspaces in West and East Valley Phoenix libraries to better understand successful models and best 
practices. Buckeye Public Library staff created a list of makerspace equipment and resources currently 
used in other libraries and assessed which items would best benefit the Buckeye community’s needs. 
Buckeye Public Library staff also assessed the available space at the Coyote Branch Library to ensure 
that these most beneficial resources could be appropriately housed without crowding. Additional 
research was conducted to identify the most appropriate and sustainable makerspace equipment for 
Buckeye, ensuring the selected tools align with community demand, space capacity, and the library’s 
technology goals. The Buckeye Public Library’s staff has the capacity to implement and manage the 
proposed program. 
 
Why did you choose this approach for your project? Did you consider any alternative approaches?: 
The Buckeye Public Library chose the makerspace approach because creating a dedicated makerspace 
with both open lab access and structured STEAM programming provides a balance of independent 
exploration and guided learning, allowing teens and adults to build skills at their own pace. This 
approach also allows individuals to receive instruction on how to safely and effectively use advanced 
technology. This model aligns with the Buckeye Public Library’s mission to provide equitable access to 
innovative tools, support lifelong learning, and foster workforce readiness. Alternative approaches, such 
as offering only scheduled programs without open lab access or using mobile kits instead of a

6
permanent makerspace, were considered. However, these options would limit consistent access to 
technology, reduce opportunities for self-directed learning, and make it more difficult to develop ongoing 
skills and confidence in using emerging technologies, which are central goals for this project. 
Additionally, the makerspace tools and technologies selected are sustainable compared to alternative 
approaches, which typically require higher sustainment and personnel costs. 
 
List at least one product or activity that will help you meet the outcome. All products and activities 
that are a part of your project should be tied to an outcome.:  
One key activity that will help meet the outcome is the monthly hands-on STEAM program, where 
participants learn to use makerspace equipment such as the 3D printer, CO2 laser cutter, vinyl cutter, 
and sewing and embroidery machine. This structured program directly supports the outcome by teaching 
technical skills, building confidence with emerging technologies, and reinforcing STEAM concepts 
through guided, practical experience. Additionally, open lab hours and instructional resources like how-
to videos and guides are products of the project that allow participants to practice independently, further 
developing digital literacy, creativity, and lifelong learning skills in alignment with the outcome. 
 
Describe what tool(s) or method(s) you will use to evaluate each product or activity listed. 
Examples include pre- and post-assessments, surveys, focus groups, interviews, and 
observations.:  
Participants will be requested to complete surveys after using the open lab hours to provide feedback on 
their experience with the makerspace equipment, including ease of use and the helpfulness of 
instructional videos and guides. Surveys will also be administered after the monthly hands-on STEAM 
program to evaluate participants’ understanding of the equipment, confidence in using the tools, and 
satisfaction with the structured instruction. In addition, Buckeye Public Library staff will monitor 
participation numbers while conducting observations and check-ins during both open lab and program 
sessions to assess participant engagement, skill development, and how effectively the equipment and 
resources are being used. These evaluation tools will help measure skill development, engagement, and 
the effectiveness of both independent and guided makerspace activities in meeting the project’s 
outcomes. Based on the popularity and feedback from patrons who have participated in this program, 
the Buckeye Public Library may expand and budget for this program in the future to allow for greater 
availability, sustainability, and community opportunities.

Household Tool Set ($160), one 3D printer filament rack ($250 estimated), and four computers ($8,000 
estimated). Supply and material costs are also based on vendor pricing and include starter materials for 
the laser cutter, multiple filament bundles for 3D printing, nozzle cleaning tools, cleaning supplies, 
pliers, a heat gun, vinyl in assorted colors, transfer tape, cutting blades, cutting mats, embroidery thread, 
bobbins, stabilizers, embroidery needles, and sewing scissors. These supply costs were calculated using 
estimated quantities needed to support open lab use and monthly programming during the grant period. 
A warranty for the xTool P2 ($350) is also included as a service cost to help protect the investment and 
reduce future repair risk. No mileage costs are included in this project budget. In addition, personnel 
support will be provided as in-kind match rather than requested grant funds. Overall, the budget reflects 
direct quotes where available, reasonable market estimates where exact models are still being finalized, 
and quantities calculated to ensure the makerspace has the equipment, furniture, technology, and 
consumable materials necessary to launch and sustain public service. The makerspace will support 
open lab access and monthly hands-on STEM programming for ages 13 and older, providing access to 3D 
printing, laser cutting, vinyl cutting, and sewing/embroidery technology. 
 
Salaries/Wages/BenefitsIncludes all salaries, wages, and fringe benefits paid to temporary project 
staff directly contributing to the project.:  
Personnel costs for this project are part of the Buckeye Public Library’s in-kind match and include staff 
time dedicated to planning, implementation, training, and ongoing makerspace support. The project will 
allocate approximately 1,040 hours from one Library Systems & Technology Administrator at $42.92 per 
hour and two Library Assistant Seniors at $25.00 per hour each ($42.92 x 520 = $22,318.40, $25.00 x 520 
= $13,000 x 2 = $26,000. Total: $22,318.40 + $26,000 = $48,318.40). These staff members will support 
equipment setup, development of instructional materials, delivery of monthly hands-on STEM programs, 
supervision of open lab hours, and evaluation activities. Personnel involvement ensures the makerspace 
is implemented effectively and remains accessible, safe, and sustainable for community use throughout 
the grant period.
