The Durham Makerspace
Splat*Space is a multidisciplinary workshop and makerspace/hackerspace located in the Triangle region of North Carolina (Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill) in Downtown Durham. We opened in September 2010, incorporated as the Durham Makerspace and have ~55 members currently in a 1700 sq ft location in Downtown Durham.
We are a 501(C)3, member-driven, member-funded organization. A community of crafters, engineers, mad scientists, artists, programmers, hackers, makers, tinkerers, teachers, and students of all kinds, our ultimate goal is to reach out to each other and the surrounding community to share our passion for art, technology, and innovation. Through sharing this passion, we will ultimately build a community that uniquely contributes to the technical and artistic vibrancy of Durham, and the Triangle as a whole.
We have a physical location in Downtown Durham where members can access physical space, basic tools/parts, and a community of passionate people. We hold weekly open meetings in addition to classes, events, and get-togethers to celebrate and share our strengths, learn from each other, and collaborate on projects of interest to members. We participate in activities in the community and support STEAM activities at local schools, libraries and museums.
