# It's no flying car, but it can carry us into the future: Meet the Beaverton School District mobile maker space #FutureBus

The day and age of schools having shop class are, sadly, a thing of the past. So what is the next generation of would-be makers to do when they need space to muck around with tech or production equipment? The [Beaverton School District](https://www.beaverton.k12.or.us/ "Beaverton School District") is proposing one solution. It’s a mobile maker space housed within an old school bus. Meet the [\#FutureBus](https://siliconflorist.com/tag/futurebus-2/).



For more information, see the [press release from the Beaverton School District (PDF)](https://www.beaverton.k12.or.us/depts/CCI/pubs/Press%20Releases/2015-2016/VNR%20Future%20Bus.pdf "The BSD #FutureBus: Coming Soon to a School Near You").
