We appreciate Carol's leadership in the maker movement and support she provided to California Community Colleges as well as many others nationally and internationally interested in enhancing education with makerspaces. Her enthusiasm and impact was felt by hundreds of educators and thousands of students. A tribute to Carol can be found at Celebrating Carol Pepper-Kittredge!
