Makerspaces are rooms with tools (3D printers, sewing machines, electronics) where kids can build stuff. AI helps you plan projects and troubleshoot.
Some examples
- 'I want to use a 3D printer. Suggest 5 beginner projects.'
- 'Help me plan a sewing project — a pillow with my favorite character.'
- 'I want to make an electronics project. What is good for a beginner?'
- 'My 3D print failed. Why? [describe what happened]'
