Makerspace - Seven Generations Education Institute

What is a Makerspace?

SGEI’s Makerspaces (located at the Rainy Lake and Kenora Campuses) are collaborative spaces open to everyone. We offer a wide range of technology, craft supplies and equipment for anyone to use. SGEI provides the equipment, tools and supplies free of charge so you can get creating and making!

To familiarize yourself with our space, read the Makerspace Safety, Rules and Regulations.
