In a town built on world‑changing ideas, Los Alamos Makers was born from a simple belief: technology should be hands‑on and innovation should be accessible to everyone.

​

We started as a place to collaborate – an empty classroom within "The Community Lab".

​

That turned into a place to tinker, two rooms full of tools, scraps, and ideas.

Then something happened.

People didn’t just show up to build projects.

They showed up to build with each other and help each other.

Scientists and artists. Engineers and hobbyists.

Retirees with decades of expertise and students freely taking a stab at coding and engineering, even Biotech.

LANL talent, local entrepreneurs, and neighbors who simply wanted to learn something new.

They all found themselves in one place, sharing ideas, solving problems.

​

What emerged wasn’t just a makerspace.
It was a community.

​

When people walk through the door, they don’t just find tools - they find teammates, mentors, collaborators, and people willing to contribute.

​

We exist to spark creativity, accelerate innovation, and strengthen our region’s creative and technical workforce.

We’re here to help people launch ventures, learn new skills, and rediscover the joy of making something real with their own hands.

​

Los Alamos Makers is where talent finds purpose...and where silos disappear.
