Chattlab Makerspace

This is where members and friends can come in and spend an hour or two helping with clean up, improvement projects and the like. Please come and show your love with a little elbow grease and any organization skills you may have.

No skills are necessary, though if we find out you're good at something we'll take advantage of that fact!

It's scheduled for 3 hours to allow for varying availability of our helpers. If you can come and put in 30 minutes, that would be considered a win for us. Tackle one project (or more) and then enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Tuesdays are our open meetings. All in the public are welcome to attend the meeting and get tours of the makerspace after the meeting events.

On the first Tuesday's of the month we give a brief presentation of what has happened over the past month and what things are coming up. Sort of a "current state of things" kinda thing.

On other Tuesdays we have a show and tell and try to do a brief demonstration of some sort. We're always looking for new demo topics, so if you have something that takes 20 minutes or less to present, let us know, or if you have a cool thing you made and want to do a 5 minute show and tell, we'd love to see it.

If you have heard about us and want to see what we're about, show up up a little early between 6pm and 7pm and someone will be there to show you around.

If you want more information about who we are and what we do, check out this link: https://wiki.chattlab.org/about_chattlab

Please be so kind as to RSVP if you are going to make it so we know if someone is coming. Don't worry, you don't get a sales pitch. Most of us are introverted engineers and makers and aren't into sales. We are more interested in talking about cool stuff that we make or that you make.

NOTE! When you show up, go to the side door and ring the doorbell. It might take us a minute or 2 to walk over there to let you in.

For new members, this is a orientation on best practices at the space, general safety procedures and setup on all of our other systems.

New people that are considering becoming a member are welcome to attend as well as they evaluate the space for potential membership.

Members are encouraged to bring a laptop so we can set you up on our accounts such as wiki, and wifi.

Bring in your projects or your questions and work collaboratively with other local makers to make cool things. Come by Chattlab any time between 7-9 pm on Thursdays and We'll be there messing around with some nonsense. Bring in your own projects, questions, or skills and we'll all work to figure out how to make things happen.

Chattlab is local makerspace that has been around for over a decade. It has no paid employees and is supported entirely by the membership. It is located in the Business Development Center on North Shore. You can find us in the alley between Cherry Street brewing and the building we're in. Facilities include an electronics workstation, a wood shop, a metal shop, laser cutters and 3d printers, a computer lab, and much more.
