What is a MakerSpace?

A community workshop where members share tools, knowledge, and workspace to bring their creative projects to life.

🔧

Professional Equipment

Access to 3D printers, laser cutters, woodworking tools, electronics labs, textile equipment, and more—tools that would be too expensive to own individually.

👥

Community & Skills

Learn from experienced makers, take workshops, teach others your skills, and collaborate on projects with fellow community members.

💡

Innovation & Growth

Turn ideas into prototypes, start small businesses, develop new skills, and contribute to South Milwaukee's economic development and education.

Member-Owned. Community-Driven.

The South Milwaukee MakerSpace will operate as a cooperative—meaning it's owned and governed by its members.

The Co-op Model

  • Democratic governance: Members elect the board and vote on major decisions
  • Shared resources: Pool funds for expensive equipment and facilities
  • Sustainable model: Not-for-profit structure keeps costs low
  • Community focus: Serves members and broader South Milwaukee community
