Maker Meetups

First, third and fifth Tuesdays of every month are Maker Meetups. 6:15pm at the space. You can check the calendar for exact dates.

At Maker Meetups you can check out the Hackerspace, meet interesting people in Canberra’s Maker community and see the cool stuff people are working on. If you’ve been working on something that you’d like to share, you’ll find plenty of people keen to hear about your progress and the challenges you’ve faced. You can bounce ideas around, compare notes or draw on collective experience and knowledge to help progress through tricky parts of your projects.

Most people who come to Maker Meetups aren’t MHV members, there’s no pressure to become one. Everyone is welcome - all ages, interests and skill levels.

Because the space is a workshop, you will need to wear covered shoes. If you want to work with the tools in the space then you’ll need to join in order to do that - it only costs $1 to join as a casual member.

Check out the community calendar and copy the next Maker Meetup into your own calendar.

If you are unable to make it to our Maker Meetups, but wish to check out the space, keep an eye out for space openings and drop by some time.

Regular Space Opening Times

The space is open for members lots of times through the week. If you’re not an Associate member then you can still join as a Casual member for $1 when you come along.

• Check the Google Calendar for scheduled openings and events.
• Check the Makers mailing list for other times the space is open.

Committee Meetings

There is also a monthly committee meeting to deal with “running the Hackerspace”. You’re welcome to come along, although please remember they are administrative not Maker-oriented. Committee meetings are usually held in the evening on the second Tuesday of each month. If you're interested in committee business, you can also check out the committee mailing list.
