Makerspace Tours
A collection of makerspaces I've toured.
Thu 18 July 2024When I travel I often try to tour Makerspaces and then share what I've learned with the one that I'm a part of, Protospace. Below you'll find links to the posts I've made on our forums about the makerspaces I've visited.
I'm interested in learning about:
- the space's history, policies, and procedures
- how are they documented / communicated to new members
- membership demographics
- how to join
- how decisions are made and conflicts resolved
- how toxic members are dealt with
