Is maker spaces right for my classroom? I still have questions...

There are many questions about makerspaces.  I talked with several of my elementary school teacher friends, and most of them have never heard of them.  Then, I did find a few teachers that did (but not from my school) and I asked them what their thoughts were or why they didn't use maker-spaces in their school or classroom.  Some of the questions that I heard from them are Is it right for my classroom?  What does it look like IN the classroom?  Won't it take up a lot of time setting up and maintaining?   Perhaps the initial set up might be overwhelming, but I think the dividends will be amazing.  Here is a video of what a makerspace looks like in an elementary media center.

Even though, I am convinced that I need to spend a lot of time and money, this video suggests that I don't.  They state that it is important to get people to buy into the project, even if it means starting afterschool.  They argue that when people see it in action, they will see how beneficial it is to students.
