The Department of Public Health has advised to implement various preventative measures, which include avoiding large public gatherings, travel and staying home if you are sick.
All walk-ins are now limited to Friday and Saturday afternoons and by appointment only.
In-person clubs and meetups are now remote or hybrid when appropriate.
The space is open to members who are NOT sick and follow proper hygiene and cleaning procedures.
Please fill out this form before you renew or purchase a new membership.
Due to COVID-19, check out our new rules.
COVID-19 guidelines:
- Limited in-person workshops (semi-private classes) and "walk-ins" by appointment only.
Current members have to sign up for a time slot prior to accessing the space:
Only one member at a time in the space.
Visit the membership page to reserve your spot.
Reserve as little or as much as you need in 1-hour increment (please be considerate).
During this time, in order to allow members of our maker community to interact with each other, volunteers and management, you are invited to join us during our new monthly meeting, every last Sunday of the month at 5PM: meet.google.com/ufe-bdac-noa
We can still interact virtually. Some of our free meetups have moved online. Just check us out on Meetup.com for our sewing, stained glass/jewelry or woodworking meetups.
- We have designed and implemented some cool remote workshops (more are on the way), including this cool 3D printing workshop, with a twist. Check it out here: https://youtu.be/UEBCZ3jZWuU
- The CoderDojo for kids will continue to meet during its regular time with James, so you can continue your projects and socialize.
Join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/pmxE4tZ
- The Raspberry Pi club is also meeting virtually on Discord at its regular time (Thursdays 7.00PM to 8PM). Join us here: https://discord.gg/rJa56Gb

To facilitate the mandatory social distancing rules, we are limiting the number of members per room at one time to 3 members per room.
You can schedule as little or much as you want in 1-hour increments, up to 10 minutes before the scheduled time.
We recommend you check us out first and schedule a walk-in tour, if you are not familiar with makerspaces or just want to discuss your project.
If you plan on using the space, please make sure to fill out the member agreement first, so we can activate your membership.
You can use this page to purchase memberships for yourself or as a gift,
to participate in our scholarship fund or just to help support our activities.
Our prices have changed!
First increase in 4 years...but they are still very good and approachable.
For safety reasons, day-passes are reserved for people in a pinch who need access to certain tools and equipment AND do NOT require any help.
Beginners can have punctual access to tools, equipment and expertise by appointment during walk-ins, open houses and free regular specialty meetups.
Please, note that before we can activate your membership, you will have to complete this form.

Family membership policy:
1 membership for an adult allows you to bring 1 child free of charge
(the adult assumes full responsibility for the child under 18).
So a family of 4 would need 2 memberships.
Of course, all participants need to sign the liability waiver.
Our scholarship fund:
Because our goal is to make our services accessible to as many as possible, we host 6 free specialty clubs and our prices are some of the lowest makerspace prices. That being said, because for some classes we have to pay some instructors and purchase materials, we have had occasional requests for sponsorship/ scholarship funds.
We unfortunately cannot always honor such requests. If you would like to help with this new fund, you can donate here below. We will send you a picture of the person you sponsored, in action.
Here
is why we charge for memberships!
There are many ways you can connect with us or just check us out!

If you have an Amazon Prime account, Twitch is also a great way to support us
by subscribing to our channel, give tips or make donations.
