What We've Been Up To:
We're nearing the finish line!
Volunteers cleaned up to make room as we brought in more equipment over the past weeks, including a 15" planer, a 11x26" manual metal lathe, an additional laser cutter, and a 42" wide carriage inkjet printer. We've worked on drywall, electrical, roof trim, venting systems, and compressed air systems.The EIL Robotics team's area has been concreted and a wall built to close it in. By next week, we'll be texturing and painting as we finish out the Electronics & Science Lab and the Craft/Framing shop upstairs.
Remember, this is a completely volunteer led project and, to show our gratitude to everyone who has come out to lend a hand, we will host a volunteer appreciation lunch and demo on Sunday, May 1st, from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm. It is really extraordinary what our volunteers have accomplished and built for their community. I hope you can join us in celebrating Montgomery County's first makerspace!
