functions of a spokane-based make-space?

[Kizmokd]

One of the most helpful reasons for having a makerspace, at least from the experience of Nova Labs, Inc. (makerspace in Northern Virginia, of which I'm a member) is the 'group build'. We done very successful 'group builds' of both 3d printers and UAVs (quadcopters, etc.). Folks get together, decide what to build, then someone researches where to get materials, publishes price list and BOM, folks contribute / sign up, materials are obtained, cut, sorted, put into 'kits' and then a build day (or two or three) are scheduled!

It's a lot of fun to come together and do a group build. Very soon folks are figuring it out, helping one another, pointing out how to improve this or that, and the spirit begins to soar.

Anyway, don't forget 'group build'!
