Makerspaces are community centers with tools

Message from Matthew Williams: 

Makerspaces are community centers with tools. Makerspaces combine manufacturing equipment, community, and education for the purposes of enabling community members to design, prototype and create manufactured works that wouldn't be possible to create with the resources available to individuals working alone due to being prohibitively expensive. These types of spaces are united in the purpose of providing access to equipment, community, and education, and we plan on tailoring ours to services to Sandpoint based on the feedback we receive from the survey.

Sandpoint doesn't currently have anything like this and we think it would be a worthwhile asset to our community and helping entrepreneurs and students have access to the latest manufacturing and design technology.

We're trying to gauge if this would be a worthwhile endeavor based on interest from the community.

Here is a link to the survey.

Thank you,
