“Makers” feel they have found their mecca when they discover the existence of Making Awesome, a non-profit arts and technology makerspace in Railroad Square Art Park.  The unique name is fitting because members use a wide variety of really awesome tools and machinery to MAKE AWESOME STUFF!

This makerspace was founded by a group of people who saw the need for a place where creative-minded individuals without their own shops could have access to the resources necessary to fabricate their ideas into reality.   Making Awesome, a raw industrial space, consists of a series of stations/shops with an impressive variety of tools and machines, including a wood shop, a metal/jewelry shop, a fabrication lab (with multiple 3-D printers and a laser cutter!), an electronics lab, and a machine shop!  Makers are especially excited about the space’s brand new CNC machine, which turns computer models into carved objects!
