Makerspaces/hackerspaces have been popping up all over the world in the last few years. At last count, there were 16 spaces across Florida, but, until now, none in Tally. We're starting one. Our current members members include artists, engineers, designers, brewers, cooks, students and teachers, old folk and young, people who have a project in mind, need a place to do it and people to help. We're looking for a shared workspace for people working on projects that are bigger than they have room for at home or which use tools that might best be shared. Samples of tools shared at other spaces around the world include industrial sewing machines, 3D printers, laser cutters and more.
Here’s what Wikipedia says about hackerspaces:
A hackerspace or hackspace (also referred to as a hacklab, makerspace or creative space) is a location where people with common interests, often in computers, technology, science, or digital or electronic art (but also in many other realms) can meet, socialise and/orcollaborate. Hackerspaces can be viewed as open community labs incorporating elements of machine shops, workshops and/or studios where hackers can come together to share resources and knowledge to build and make things.
Meetings are currently being held every other week on Wednesday from 6 to 7 PM. So far, we've incorporated, identified teams, picked a name and are starting to look for space. We have a group web site at http://www.totallyfablab.com where you can find our project documentation.
