We’re a community of makers, hackers and creatives in Allentown, Bethlehem and the rest of the Lehigh Valley who believe that we can do\u00a0even cooler things by interacting with other people who are doing cool things.<\/p>

Our space is home to power tools, hand tools, electronics equipment, 3D printers, a 60-watt laser cutter, a Dickerson etching press, sewing machines, art supplies, and lots more.\u00a0<\/p>

Make great things, make things great!<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A makerspace is a big shared workshop for people who love to tinker. Our members include engineers, woodworkers, programmers, artists, amateur radio enthusiasts, radio-controlled airplane flyers, and the list goes on! If you need a space to work on your project, want to bounce ideas off of other people, or need to use tools that you don’t have room for in your basement, stop by for a visit!\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
