Welcome!

We're thrilled to have you join our community. Our mission is to provide education in all sorts of making and promote the same in the community. We aim to provide a makerspace that serves all experience levels from hobbyists to professionals. Our goal is to help you develop your skills and give you a space and tools to express them.

Maker Nexus is a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization fueled by the community members. Creating our community makerspace requires the cooperation of many volunteers. To pull the effort together we use the latest on-line team technology. We have open discussion forums on Slack, and our wiki persists the information we create. Our Facebook group hosts lively discussions. We also send out weekly updates in our email newsletter. We often hold public town hall meetings to update the community and get feedback on our plans.

The Basics

Maker Nexus is a community who also runs a makerspace. You buy a monthly membership to gain access to the shared space. You learn to use the tools provided and then use them to make things.

This handbook describes policies and procedures that keep the makerspace humming along. The principles on which they are founded are:

  • Safety - in all senses of the word, we want a safe space to make in.
  • Transparency - so you know how it's going and how you can participate.
  • Community - so it's a place with friends to share your passions with.
