Makers Meetup - 4
Description
This meeting is the pre-inaugural meeting of our future makerspace; which means for lively discussion!
This is for people who enjoy sharing projects and ideas. This group might be for you if you watch YouTubers like Clickspring, AVE, Colin Furze, This Old Tony, Not An Engineer, and/or more.
We will take this opportunity to socialise and discuss starting a new makerspace in the city of Ipswich.
For those who are there, they will have the opportunity to ask:
How this new makerspace will be uniquely positioned for the future in both Ipswich and Brisbane
our targets, milestones and timeframes
What has worked well and what hasn't for similar organisations
the planned structure of the organisation
events and opportunities for new makerspace
You will also have the opportunity to hear the history of makerspaces/hackerspaces and the ways they have changed over the years.
These meetups are also an excellent opportunity to network with similar minded individuals.
Each person who attends this meeting will be part of the early team in a rapidly growing community organisation.
FAQs
- How do I get there?
You can drive, train or bus to the Ipswich city centre. If driving, it is best to park in the underground parking. The first 3 hours are free. The general public is located below the Hoyts Ipswich cinema.
- Is this like a men's shed?
Makerspace and Men's Sheds are both community workshops; however, this is where the similarities end.
While men's sheds have a focus on men's mental health, maker spaces focus on technology and experimentation.
Mixed membership, usually younger and technically inclined. There are many other differences; however, those vary from group to group as the culture is made by the members.
