Steps to becoming a member

  • Visit the space during an open night, or attend a business meeting to get a tour and meet the members and officers. We meet as a group once per month. See the calendar on our website for scheduled meeting dates.
  • If you like what you see and want to join, fill out the application & membership liability waiver and give it to the membership officer.
  • Membership dues pay for the business expenses (rent, utilities, insurance, etc). Note: Please try to set your payment schedule to the first part of the month. 
  • Do one of the following to pay dues:
    • Set up a monthly recurring payment using the PayPal links below.  
    • Pay annually $825/year (one month free, individual membership) using the PayPal link below.
    • If you prefer not to use a credit card, we also accept Zelle (bank transfer), cash and checks. We have a deposit box inside the Makerspace for this purpose.
  • Attend a few open nights to learn basic safety and operation of the equipment from the available hosts. Here you will get to know some other members that can mentor you. Work on your project or join other projects during these open nights.
  • Sign up for Slack and request and invite from one of our members. We use this tool to stay in communication with our hosts, members and officers. Please join our other social media sites and promote the Makerspace and your projects. Spread the word!
  • Attend the next business meeting. The members and mentors that you have worked with will present you for approval into full membership. You will then be issued a key fob by our membership officer. You do not need to attend every business meeting throughout the year, but you are encouraged to get involved with what is going on at the Makerspace.
  • As a new or prospective member, review our Makerspace Wiki
