Project Night — Meeting at Maker Works

MEETING SCHEDULE — Trial Run!

Join us for this trial run on Sunday, May 4th, 2025 from 6 PM – 10 PM!

OVERVIEW — WHAT IS Project Night?

We are trialing a new event for people in the community to come hang out and/or work on their own projects. In addition to providing space, Maker Works will provide everyone with free membership for the evening! This means you can use any tool that does not require a safety checkout class, as well as any tools that you have taken the safety checkout class for.

If you want to use a tool that requires a checkout class, please take the class before May 4th and use code FREEPROJECTNIGHT for $10 off. If you don’t see a class that fits your schedule, click the “Request” button!

To see a list of tools that do not require a checkout class, read through this page.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT This MEETING

This is an opportunity to work on personal projects while connecting with others in the community. This event is open to anyone interested in making, building, designing, or learning in a shared space.

You are welcome (and encouraged) to bring a project to work on, ask questions, observe what others are doing, or simply use the time to meet new people. The atmosphere is informal, and you can stay for the full four hours or arrive and leave whenever it suits you.

All attendees will receive temporary access to the shop’s tools, with the exception of those that require prior safety training. If you have completed a tool checkout class, you will be able to use those tools as well.
