The first Fredericton Makerspace Meetup took place at Planet Hatch and it was a huge success! 

This was the first opportunity to meet our fellow makers face to face and learn more about each other. We want to thank all those who came out to learn about the makerspace and sign up for pre-membership. It was an energetic room filled with great conversation, sharing ideas and discussing new projects from start to finish. 

Our feedback stations allowed us to gather a lot of important information about our future members and what they are expecting in a makerspace. Since this will be a member driven initiative we want to make sure we are prepared to provide the proper resources to enable a productive and creative maker community.

As a new initiative in the province it was very encouraging to meet the great folks from Saint John who are starting a similar project there. I’m sure we will be sharing a lot stories and advice over the next few months.

If you want to learn more about how to get involved send us an email on the contact page. If you are interested in becoming a member you can simply click on the membership tab and sign up with your contribution to guarantee your founding membership. This contribution will go directly towards your membership fee once we are up and running.  

Be sure to follow us on twitter and facebook to stay informed about future events.

Making it Happen

Welcome, Makers!

We're getting close, SO CLOSE to Fredericton having its own makerspace. Yes, its VERY own makerspace! 

A makerspace (also referred to as a hacklab, hackerspace , or hackspace) is a community-operated workspace where people with common interests, often in computers, technology, science, digital art or electronic art, can meet, socialize and/or collaborate.

Over the last couple of years, I've had the privilege of meeting some amazing makers in this city. I've seen awesome home built quad copters, a life size R2D2 , incredible photography, and breath taking art. The people behind these creations are as amazing as the creations they make. Art, sculpting, woodworking, robots, hacking... passion. This city has it all and we're going to bring it all together under one roof! We want you (all of you) to be part of the space and turn it into something amazing and unique. FOR the community - BY the community.

What will YOU make?
