MAKERSPACE
Coming Soon! (2024)
As adults, it's hard to find time to learn new skills purely for the joy of it. Makerspace Hideout aims to provide an immersive learning experience that promises to be more social, beautiful, and hopefully joyful than traditional learning methods. The makerspace is a place for hands-on learning with all the tools for creativity!
We are currently in the process of converting our four-horse barn into the dream workshop and building out our inventory of tools and equipment.
​
What is a Makerspace?
A makerspace is a collaborative workspace for crafting, making, learning, exploring, and sharing. These spaces are open to kids, adults, and entrepreneurs and have a variety of tools such as 3D printers, laser cutters, CNC machines, soldering irons, sewing machines, hand tools, and other non-tech to high-tech equipment.
A makerspace however doesn’t need to include all of these machines or even any of them to be considered a makerspace. If you have cardboard, legos, and art supplies you’re in business. It’s more of the maker mindset of creating something out of nothing and exploring your own interests that’s at the core of a makerspace.
