functions of a spokane-based make-space?

[Dan]

What I would like to see in a hackerspace -

I imagine a community of people from all walks of life able to come together to learn and have fun by building cool "things".

Beyond college/university it is difficult to find hands-on technical workshops that push you to learn something new, especially in the Spokane Area, I think we can fill that void.
There are so few clubs in this area that have any sort of tech/nerdy focus it makes it difficult to find other like minded people and collaborate.

Another giant opportunity I see is the ability to nurture innovation and provide a place where someone can turn a dream into reality, like an inventors lab or research and design shop.
