Senior🎓
Top SchoolFranklin Sayre is a Makerspace Librarian and departmental co-chair with eight years of experience designing hands-on, inclusive learning environments that bridge technology, research support, and pedagogy. Based in Vancouver, he leads a seven-room university makerspace serving over 2,000 monthly users, building teams, budgets, curriculum integrations, and sustainability initiatives like a Tool Library and Fabric Stash. A former STEM and health sciences liaison, he brings deep expertise in evidence-based practice, reproducible research, and open science—having supported systematic reviews, NIH-funded commercialization work, and campus-wide computational reproducibility efforts. Franklin’s practice blends practical operations with strategic change: he shifted librarian workload models to team-based liaisoning and intentionally integrates Indigenization and accessibility into programming. He is motivated by creating spaces where experimentation, mentorship, and critical making foster lifelong learning and research integrity.
