Maybe at one time the appropriate term was "community workshop," but "maker space" is the handle now.
And several communities in the region are in the process of setting up maker spaces, or at least exploring the possibilities.
Anyone with some knowledge and skills could potentially make use of such a space and the community-owned tools contained within.
Oneshop in Redding is already going, as is ADX in Portland; the City of Roseburg is just getting started on its maker space exploration. Reps from each organization join us for a discussion.
