Powell Makerspace

MISSION: Bring learning, making, and sharing to our community by creating a collaborative, affordable, and inspirational educational environment where people at all stages of life and socio-economic condition can access old and new skill sets, cross-pollinate ideas, and become thoughtful consumers and innovators who build healthy and sustainable communities and businesses. VISION: Bring together self-directed individuals and teams for self-learning enabling communities to develop organically and families to learn together by providing equipment and access to a network of human capital resources ordinarily out of the reach of individuals. Create an environment for knowledge sharing through both self-selecting courseware offered and taught by the community and directed topics via programming & contests to provide energy and focus to those just ‘tinkering’.

The Powell Makerspace provides the equipment, resources, and training to use 21st century technology to prototype and create. We partner with the Park County Library, Powell Valley Community Education, and others to provide entertaining and engaging courses and actives for people of all ages and technological backgrounds. We also provide a space and tools for people to make their ideas reality.
