What we’re about
This group is for members and visitors to Makespace, a community workshop in Cambridge, UK. The meetups are organised by community members both in the space and elsewhere in Cambridge.
To tweak your email preferences for the group, please go to http://meetup.makespace.org/settings/
We would love to meet:
* Community members, enthusiasts, and educational groups who could benefit from a lab in which to work together, network, socialise, and draw on the expertise of others
* People working within local industries looking to innovate in ways that require new skills, equipment and contacts
* Companies and consultancies that support innovation and prototyping, and who could provide training, support, leading to the sale of their services
* Innovators needing to produce physical prototypes to further their ideas
If this could include you, please help us maintain and grow Makespace by joining now, telling us:
* Who you are, and any company/group affiliation
* What you could contribute to and/or how you could benefit from Makespace
* Any other ideas, requirements or suggestions to improve Makespace

See all- Raspberry Pi, Arduino/Microcontrollers and CAD Club NightMakespace classroom, Cambridge
Tuesday nights in the Makespace Classroom are Raspberry Pi, Arduino/Micro-controllers and CAD Club meet-ups. Come and join fellow coding and computer aided design enthusiasts for an informal evening of tinkering with tech. Help is on hand to assist you with any problems.
Bring along a project you're working on or need help with. We typically have a regular group of Raspberry Pi and Pico experts to help you if you need it. SOLIDWORKS and FreeCAD help is also on hand.CASTEM Club is a hands-on STEM club for children and young people. We meet regularly at Makespace and run excit--ing projects involving Raspberry Pi, robotics, rocketry, mini satellites (CanSAT), CAD, and more. Our sessions are aligned with the Pi and CAD club, offering a creative space to explore tech and engineering.
Come along to one of our meetups to see what we do and how you can get involved—whether you're a curious student, parent, or potential volunteer. Find out more at: https://castem.clubThis is a Makespace community outreach event, so non-members are welcome. Just sign up on the meet-up and ring the 'Pi/CAD Club' door bell which will be hanging on the Makespace outside door on the night.
- Makespace@EMF2026 brainstorming, collaboration-forming, and planningNeeds location
Open to ALL Makespace members (and chosen guests) whether or not you've been to EMF before!
Makespace is planning to go to EMF in 2026!For info on what that is, see emfcamp.org (site still showing 2024).
TL;DR: A long weekend of talks, performances, workshops, making, nerding-out while CAMPING in a field (with good WiFi).It might seem far away but it's definitely not too early to start connecting interested Makespace members to collaborate, organise, and inspire each other.
It's quite common for attendees exhibit/demonstrate projects they want to share with a wider audience. However, it's definitely not a requirement.
Please do bring along ideas and enthusiasm!
This could be ideas for:
- something you want help making
- something cool you'll be working on (but don't want help on)
- talks/workshops
- logistics for Makespace
- charitable and community initiatives
- outreach
- something you think OTHER people should make but don't have time to help yourself.See you there,
