Title: Makerspace Tours Date: 2024-07-18 Category: Writing Summary: A collection of makerspaces I've toured. Tags: feed

When I travel I often try to tour Makerspaces and then share what I've learned with the one that I'm a part of, Protospace. Below you'll find links to the posts I've made on our forums about the makerspaces I've visited.

I'm interested in learning about:

  • the space's history, policies, and procedures
    • how are they documented / communicated to new members
  • membership demographics
  • how to join
  • how decisions are made and conflicts resolved
  • how toxic members are dealt with
