Relating to maker spaces.

HB 2875 authorizes Oregon public school districts to create and manage "maker spaces" - hands-on project areas for community members, especially those focused on computing and technology. School boards can make school facilities available after hours, charge only basic operational costs for safety and oversight, and partner with nonprofits for equipment or resources. The bill also allows schools to enter patent-sharing agreements if they provide space at below-market value. The Oregon Department of Education will develop guidelines for schools on best practices for operating these spaces. This bill directly affects school districts and community users seeking collaborative tech-focused workspaces.
