The Maker Space at David Dunlap Observatory (formerly ylab)

Originally started as Markham Makers by Jay, the group evolved into Ylab,  a maker space hosted by the David Dunlap Observatory in Richmond Hill.
The Maker Space at the DDO is now operated by the City of Richmond Hill. This meetup group is run by voluntter members.
MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION - just meetup, or makerspace paid membership
We use meetup.com for our discussion groups and announcements. All the meetup.com membership gets you is access t announcement emails.  We don't sell or provide contact info to anyone else, and we don't sell access to the list. We may include information on other groups' events that we like... but only because we like them. We don't take money to do that.
We've been at the DDO since April 1 2015.
Membership has its privileges - and responsibilities. We are an all-volunteer organisation. Nobody gets paid.
Full details on our membership  can be found on our website about us page.
OUR EQUIPMENT
We are well equipped with ylab-owned and member loaned equipment.  We feature laser cutter with a 24" x 36" bed, PLA and ABS 3D printers, oscilloscopes, soldering tools, amateur radio gear and a variety of other equipment. As membership increases, 100% of the funds go back into the space.
Use of some equipment requires passing an appropriate certification class or supervision by a certified member.
WHAT WE DO
We host tech talks, classes and seminars at the DDO and in other location. Check out our blog entries. Most importantly, we work on projects and help each other. It gets better every week.
We welcome  anyone who interested in software, Arduino, 3D Printing, laser cutting, robot making and toy hacking, amateur radio and whatever else we can think of.
Our main website is ylab.ca.
All skills levels are welcome.
