What is a Maker Space

There are many different definitions. We will define it as it applies to us, South Coast Innovation Labs. Note maker spaces are sometimes called Hacker Spaces ....

= Our Definition =

It is a place where you can go to:


 * Get access to equipment you cannot or do not afford yourself.
 * Learn about making things that you want to learn about.
 * Meet others making interesting things.
 * Begin a business.

Lots of maker spaces ( and SCIL ) are interested in the following equipment:


 * 3D Printers
 * Laser Cutters
 * CAD design tools

We have some equipment that is not so common:


 * Sewing Machines
 * Aquaponics Lab
 * Wood Shop
 * Metal Shop

= What Happens at a Make Space =


 * Shops, labs, open for use of members.
 * Courses and workshops are offered.
 * Regular meetings of Special Interest Groups.
