Mobile Makerspace is a 501c3 non-Profit organization.
Who are we? We’re a group of makers in Mobile, Alabama. We’re a group of hobbyists who work with everything from electronics to woodworking, and are interested in everything from cooking to quantum physics. Our members are computer geeks, engineers, artists, students, and everything in between.
Who are makers? You, me, anyone and everyone. A maker is a person who has a passion for learning, experimentation, tinkering, and teaching. Do you find yourself taking things apart to see how they work? Do you tend to try to fix things instead of buying new? Do you ever spend an afternoon daydreaming about an invention or an idea? If you answer yes to any of these, then you are a maker!
What do we do? We work on projects at the space. We have monthly meetings to discuss our passion for making. We share project ideas and collaborate together.
What’s a makerspace? A makerspace is a collaborative work space for making, learning, exploring and sharing that uses high tech to no tech tools.

Our Downtown Mobile location is right in the path of the Mardi Gras parade routes. Due to this, we will be closing the Makerspace for our regular visiting hours of 6pm – 9pm during the week until after Mardi Gras. We will resume normal visiting hours on Wednesday February 26th.
We are starting to settle in to the new place, but we do not have the funds to finish setting everything up. We still have a lot to do to get to where we need to be. We really need some help! There are lots of opportunities to get involved!
