Montrose Makerspace Grand Opening
Montrose Makerspace is fundraising for a community workshop and meeting place for anyone with a great idea!
Think of it like a Community Recreation Center - for your BRAIN!
It's a co-CREATION space with the tools you need to make it real, make it here and make it NOW!
It's a non-profit community-driven organization that provides high-tech tools, supplies, meeting/working space, education/training, vocational access, prototyping resources, and a place to pursue applied knowledge - for everyone in the community!
Montrose Makerspace is targeting a Grand Opening date of May 4th, 2017! Our founders have been hard at work building the shop and fine-tuning our machines. All we need are some supplies and a few improvements to our facility- and we'll be open to the public!
