Welcome to the Makerspace

For Tinkerers, Makers, Entrepreneurs, Artisans, and Creative Constructivists of All Types

For Tinkerers, Makers, Entrepreneurs, Artisans, and Creative Constructivists of All Types:

The MatchBOX Makerspace is a shared space for anyone who needs a workshop, a place to get things done, or a community of like-minded creatives dreaming of their next invention.

The space is open to all MatchBOX members at no additional charge, and works like a gym membership. Come in whenever you want; the Makerspace (like the rest of MBX) is accessible 24/7. 

We’re a workshop, a prototyping lab, and a gathering place.
