Staunton Makerspace

Staunton Makerspace The Makerspace is a non-profit organization focusing on innovation, collaboration, and creativity. We hope to establish a location in Downtown Staunton.

We ensure affordable tools, training, and resources are available to the community for personal growth, career advancement and entrepreneurship. "Makerspaces typically provide access to materials, tools, and technologies to allow for hands-on exploration and participatory learning. They are occasionally referred to as fablabs, hackerspaces or tech shops." -- oedb.org/ilibrarian/a-librarians-guide-

I tend of think of MakerSpaces are modern libraries where you can get hands-on access to technology that is not widely available, such as 3D printers and Computer controlled Routers. It's also a place to get access to people with real expertise in electonics, manufacturing, art, and programming. A delightful collision of skills and expertise that could help us experiment successfully. We are working to establish (and would welcome contact from) local educational groups and organizations.

Update: Craft Kiosk Bandits Nabbed at the Kiosk! We discussed how to be a good neighbors and explained our security cameras. Thanks for all of the tips.

Help Us Catch the Craft Kiosk Bandit! 🚨

Friends, we hate to post this, but we need your help. Twice now, someone has completely cleaned out our free Community Craft Kiosk — taking nearly everything inside instead of just enough for one project. Be on the look out for a small red car with a back passenger window busted out. Let us know if you have seen this car.

Our craft kiosk was created so kids, families, and neighbors could find a spark of creativity — not so one person could take it all. We restock it with donations and volunteer time, and we want it to stay available for everyone.

We monitor the kiosk area by camera and have seen the same couple doing this twice over the past week. We watched the couple load their trunk up with donated supplies and walk back up and get more! If you recognize this car or know who might be responsible from the photos, please let us know and help remind them that the kiosk is for sharing, not stockpiling. Be a good neighbor.

💛 If you’d like to help us restock, we welcome donations of yarn, craft kits, kids’ art supplies, or anything creative and fun! The kiosk was completely full both times the bandit hit so we lost all of the donations we had just placed inside.
