What is MakeWorks?
MakeWorks is a shared coworking space for startups, makers and designers. We
provide the tools, expertise and space to facilitate creativity,
innovation and growth.
What is coworking?
Coworking is a global movement to create innovative, collaborative and community
driven workspaces that move beyond traditional work environments.
Like-minded businesses of all kinds come together in one facility to
share resources, create a community and reduce operating costs.
Coworking is founded on these five pillars: collaboration, openness,
community, accessibility, and sustainability.
What facilities/services do I get access to as a MakeWorks Community member?
Hot Desks, Wi-Fi, 4 hrs/month boardroom access, virtual mailing address,
printing, discounted workshops, discounted event space, kitchen and free
coffee, weekly drinks and demos, discounted access to the electronics
lab, prototyping lab, laser cutter, and workshop/ceramics studio.
What do Dedicated MakeWorks members get?
As well as all the perks afforded to Community Members, Dedicated Members
get their own dedicated and super comfy seat that is assigned only to
them. Dedicated members can customize their workspace as they see fit
(convert to a standing desk or haul in a filing cabinet, chia pet, etc).
Dedicated Members also get unlimited boardroom use, access to MakeWorks
mentors, featured in our bi-monthly newsletter, customized storefront
signage, and inclusion at MakeWorks branded events
(open house, hackathons, etc.).
Use of the lab
is free to all members and accessible 24/7, with heavily discounted rates for the
laser cutter and 3D printers (including free training for all members!)
