In 2017 Stanley Black & Decker had opened a Makerspace, a 4,500-square-foot workshop dedicated to helping Stanley Black & Decker employees bring innovative new ideas to life, as well as to serving as a resource for the Greater Baltimore community to engage in meaningful maker experiences.

Stanley Black & Decker’s new Makerspace creates a collaborative environment where company employees can develop new products, and offers local students and educators access to state-of-the-art resources to pursue research projects. Maryland’s economy continues to be driven by innovation, and having cutting-edge workshops like this one is critical to growing jobs, spurring new advances, and helping our communities thrive.
