Taking the Next Step
Once your idea is sparked, what happens next? While this depends on your specific project, you will generally need to know what materials are required and what files are needed to operate the equipment.
We've provided some basic information here on our website, but Makerspace Specialists are just a call away! We are always happy to hear your ideas and help direct you to the best equipment for the job. We are also available to walk you through getting started on your project.
Key Things to Remember on Your DIY Journey
Embarking on a making journey takes patience and perseverance. Keep these important points in mind:
- Embrace Iteration: DIY starts with an idea and often takes several tries to get right. The final product may not be exactly what you first imagined, and that's perfectly okay!
- Pace Yourself: Learning new skills takes time. It may require several appointments to complete your project.
- Finishing Touches at Home: Finishing steps like painting, assembling, or staining may need to be completed at home.
- Start with Design: Most of the making in our space requires that you begin with a computer-generated design. We are happy to help you get started learning various design software, but being comfortable with computers is helpful.
