Milwaukee Makerspace in Milwaukee, WI, at its heart, is a place for people who like to build, invent, tinker and/or learn new skills and expand their minds. They have a wide range of skill sets in our membership and you’re likely to find someone who can talk about most any technical concept with you in a meaningful way. They are a physical space where you can come, 24/7 as a member, and have access to wide array of equipment you are not very likely to have at home. Plus, there are folks around the space that can give you tips and pointers on operating that equipment effectively. They will train you to use the equipment, and ask that you do the same for others.
In the space you’ll find people into electronics, robots, wood working, embedded software, metal working (including welding, forging and casting) music, art, video, photography, electric cars, sewing, textiles, printing and much more. They’ve found that having such people pursuing their interests in close proximity to one another leads to a lot of productively, personal satisfaction and some amazing collaborative projects.
Milwaukee Makerspace is open to the public each Tues at 7PM and each Thurs at 7PM. They love for people to drop by on one of those evenings and find out what they are all about. If you get a good vibe, inquire about becoming a member! Tues are the official meetings and Thurs is the “Builder’s Night Out” where everyone brings your own projects to work on in the company of other builders.
