The Cambridge Library elected to build a creative workshop space, a center of STEAM education, where people could learn and explore different media to make things. There are laser printers, 3-D printers, a Computer Numerical Control machine, a sewing machine, and a host of other tools to investigate. The Hive hosts classes in learning how to work with these tools, and also in coding and other technology related topics.
The space also includes a professional grade recording studio with a green screen setup, two studios for making podcasts, and a VR/ AR space.
