Mission
Provide the general public with the required elements necessary to create their own projects using their own materials and knowledge.
We do offer free educational classes to anyone free of charge. Membership is not required to attend classes.
We do not offer goods or services.
There are facilities to create a viable community and work environment for those who enjoy working on various types of projects. These projects may range from electronics, arts, engineering, software coding, fabrication, food related, beer brewing, crafting, 3D printing and lasering just to name a few. Creating and modifying items to generate a new or better form is our passion.
Description
A Makerspace, a place where people make things, also referred to as a Hackerspace, is a laboratory of sorts for people in the community who are interested in designing things, learning new stuff, and generally being creative!
Makerspaces have a set of community-owned tools to share. Our space offers machine shop tools, woodworking tools, electronics equipment, and other fabrication devices.
We host classes and events to help encourage people to learn and create. Many members join with the intention to work on individual projects and find that the members are able to share their insight on a variety of subjects and tools that otherwise would be out of reach to a typical hobbyist.
It’s a great chance to meet other people who share an interest in making while expanding your own skills..
There are many things that members of a Makerspace may be interested in.
Some items include:
– Fabrication
– Metalworking
– Woodworking/Carpentry
– Prototyping
– Electronics
– Programming/Software
– Mechanics
– Physics
– Robotics

– Chemistry
– 3d printing

… and much, much more!
