Maker Monday is our open house event. It’s a great way to experience the makerspace and the maker culture in person. You’ll learn all about our space, tools, policies, people, and how we operate.
Our tours are free and open to the public. While you are welcome to just show up, we prefer that you register in advance so we have enough members on hand to assist with our tours.
You are welcome to hang out and chat after your tour. There’s always something interesting going on at Maker Monday!
To contact our Membership Committee to arrange a tour outside of Maker Mondays, or if you have general questions about joining, send an email to membership@makeict.org.
Join the Security group for our meeting discussing Makerspace security. All makers are welcome to attend. Anyone who is interested in joining security has a special invitation and you can learn the process to go through to join our group.
