 A makerspace, aka hackerspace, is a shared community workshop, where members and guests can use amazing tools, learn how to build almost anything, and find camaraderie doing so. In our case, we're democratically run, with our membership operating the ship. We are a friendly community of tinkerers, makers, hackers, educators, scientists, artists and crafters, and we welcome anyone who is, aspires to be, or just wants to hang around with folks like us! A makerspace, aka hackerspace, is a shared community workshop, where members and guests can use amazing tools, learn how to build almost anything, and find camaraderie doing so.

 Yes, and all minors must be accompanied by an adult who is engaged with them while in the shop.  We have a "Kids' Shelf" with maker activities for the younger ones. Keep in mind that it is a shop with tools and projects that sometimes involve fumes, hot things, and sharp things. It may not be the safest place for very young children unless diligently watched. Yes, and all minors must be accompanied by an adult who is engaged with them while in the shop.  We have a "Kids' Shelf" with maker activities for the younger ones.
