Make It So It's my intent to create a for profit business that is dedicated to the ideal of natural intelligence. This venture is specifically a makerspace. For those who are unfamiliar with this concept, it is simple a place where people can share tool, workspace and expertise to make things. There is all sorts of collaboration happing at makerspaces and often times products are created that are manufacture in large scale. At the core however these serve as havens for DIYers.

Re: Make It So So it has been mentioned that a "for profit biz in the service of intelligence is, perhaps, a bit of an oxymoron. Mostly, I wish to create a self sufficient business model that does rely on grants. We're clever cats and should be able to make this clockwork tick without a bailout. The concept is very similar to the tenant of Homeworld in that we share resources. Perhaps it's my goal to make this makerspace/HW venture a bit more above the board, so to speak.

Re: Make It SoWhile I support the business aspect of the Makerspace, I am really fascinated with the potential a space like this would have for others. As a maker, I know it can be frustrating at times to come up with new ideas and learn new skills (woodworking, advanced sewing, etc.). This is why I think it would be ideal to learn from others and collaborate. Also, more importantly, creating and making is a big part of my life. I find that producing something is meditative and I find great bliss through this process. I haven't figured out what I'm all about yet but I do know that my most joyful moments are spent in the creative process. Go Makerspace go! |

Re: Make It So I had seen it actually, but thanks for posting it because I saw a line that mention some difficulties with building requirements. It mentions a makerspace local to us here in NH that was closed after an inspection deemed it's ventalation system inadequate.
