MakerSpace Charlotte is a community where makers, programmers, scientists, engineers, students and creative minds have access to an unbelievable amount of equipment and building space.
The 2700 square foot space is at 900 Pressley Road, which is in Southwest Charlotte, convenient to I-77.
Members get 24-hour, keyed access to the building and the tools within it. You’ll need to learn how to use the tools, or demonstrate that you already know how. Some of the areas are open to all ages, and some require an adult to accompany people under 18.
