About us
Life as a young engineer, designer, or hobby maker in the city of Toronto can be lonely and isolating. Many of us are used to interacting with each other only online, but the Toronto Markers Society is here to change that by bringing us together IRL.
The Toronto Makers Society offers a space for young engineers and hobby makers to talk shop and make friends. Come have a drink with us and discuss your latest projects, techniques, and internet finds. We accept makers of all kind, whether you're into woodworking or game development or sewing!
Anybody who takes pride in turning ideas into something real is welcome at the Toronto Makers Society.
