TL;DR - If you have any interest in seeing a makerspace thrive in Halifax you need to join us at the Halifax Central Library next Wednesday, Dec. 16th at 7pm. Also, share this with everyone you think would be interested. THE PROBLEM HOMELESS - Halifax Makerspace is currently homeless. Also, our previous two locations were helpful but didn’t fill the needs to become a kickass makerspace.

COOL THINGS COST MONEY - A makerspace needs a combination of people + money to exist. We think ~$1000/month could get us to a “kickass makerspace” level. So 20 people giving $50/mth, 40 people giving $25/month, outside funding. Most likely it will be some combination of those options.

CHICKEN-AND-EGG - Many people don’t want to commit time and money to a space until it actually kicks some ass. THE SOLUTION PLAN - Figure out what the needs and wants are for a makerspace that would get you, and as many other people in Halifax, to commit to helping us build an awesome makerspace. Join us next week, Wednesday, Dec. 16th 7pm at the Halifax Central Library - 2nd Floor Lindsay Children’s Room.

ANALYSE - The leadership of Halifax Makerspace will take the information from the meeting and start tracking down some viable options of space and equipment.

ACT - In January we will present our action plan with some specific, viable space options. We will launch a crowdfunding effort to get us to the level of resources needed to create a sustainable makerspace that you can be excited to join and be confident that it will be around for a good long while.



ps. We still having amazing stuff on the go. If you have any interesting in building a pinball machine from scratch come talk to us about it at the meeting. The prototype of the machine is coming along, you can watch a video of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PN3JrV-ymw
