What we're about
Melbourne, Florida's Makerspace (www.melbournemakerspace.org)! Now up and running with a toolspace and events! A Makerspace is a community for people who are interested in designing things, learning new stuff, and generally being creative! We gather to share our interests in 3d printing, laser cutting, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and the latest gadgets. Makerspaces have a set of community-owned tools to share, and host classes and events to help encourage people to enjoy learning and creating. it's a great chance to meet other people who share these interests, and expand your own skills.

Let's get together and talk about everything computer hardware, programming languages, and operating systems!
There is so much technology around us. It's awesome but often overwhelming.
There is no particular topic - It's anything the group wants to discuss.
Want to try installing Mint Linux?
Build a web app using Vue?
Install a new hard drive to make your pc faster?
Need to learn how databases work?
etc. etc. etc.
Hosted by Tony Bellomo who serves as the Technical Director of Innovation at a global consulting company.
No computer topic too small or too big - Let's share our knowledge and learn from each other.
Any age, any knowledge level

FREE and open to the public of all ages! This is the time to come and learn how to use the 3D printer; as well as how to obtain or create files to run on them. The 3D printer has a nominal charge of 5 cents per gram for the filament it consumes; but larger projects you may want to obtain 3D filament of your own. Generally, 1 Kgram of 1.75 mm PLA filament is the most common used by many of our members.
