Access Changes — Action Required!

As of June 15th, we've disabled access for anyone not signed up in the new member system. If your key fob no longer works, it’s likely because you haven't joined the new system yet. You can regain access by signing up for a free account on our website. Just click the “Join Us” link at the top of the page, fill out your info, and we’ll get you approved!

MakerCade Progress

Our in-house arcade cabinet project—the MakerCade—is coming along beautifully! Stay tuned for photos and more updates soon. It’s already shaping up to be a real showpiece for the space.

Orientation Process Launched

We’ve officially rolled out a structured New Member Orientation! The session takes about 90 minutes and includes a walkthrough of:

• Accessing the space

• Emergency procedures

• Website tools

• Membership expectations
  Initial feedback has been great, and we’ll be making a few small tweaks to streamline things even more. This is now a key step in onboarding new members.

Help Us Teach!

We're looking for volunteers to run short, 30-minute training sessions on equipment. Know your way around the bandsaw? Curious how the laser cutter works? Whether you're an expert or a learner willing to teach after training, we want you!
Reach out if you're interested in helping others build skills.

Milwaukee Maker Faire – November 8–9

We’d love to have a booth at the Milwaukee Maker Faire, but we need your help to make it happen! If you’re interested in helping plan, set up, or staff our booth, please email us at info@waukeshamakers.com. It’s a great opportunity to show off the space and meet other creators from across the region.

Summer Vibes (and Responsibilities)

With the warm weather here, feel free to open the shop doors to let in a breeze—but please remember to close them before you leave. Let’s keep the space secure (and bug-free).

That’s all for now! Keep making, keep sharing, and don’t hesitate to reach out with ideas or questions.
