Protospace

If you’d like to learn how to mill metal, cast metal, plasma cut, bend, and weld metal, or design objects to be 3D printed in metal, drop by Protospace any Tuesday night, from 7-9, for a tour. #ProtospaceIsMetal 🤘👩🏻‍🏭 108 and 110, 1530 27 Avenue NE, Calgary

3D printing isn’t even close to being the answer to everything. That’s why Protospace is a full-spectrum #makerspace, with a full #metalworking shop, a #woodworking shop, #lasercutters, a plasma cutter, casting tools, sewing machines, and electronics lab AND several 3D printers.

Canadian David Saint-Jacques is on a spacewalk, replacing some batteries in the Canadarm. If that inspired you to learn how to fix things, rather than throw them away, we’ve got just the space for you. (See what we did there?) Open house: Tuesday, 7-9. twitter.com/i/events/11152…

Protospace is here at the #FirstRobotics competition at the Cenesis Centre, because of course we are!

Truth. On that note, what are you making this weekend, #Calgary?

Another busy, productive night at our little Calgary #Makerspace. Welcome to tonight’s new members! If you missed this week’s open house, we have them every Tuesday night from 7-9. Drop by, some time!

And that wraps up this Tuesday’s open house, #Calgary. We’re gonna go make stuff, but if you’d like a tour of our #makerspace, and/or want to join a place where you can make stuff, drop by next Tuesday, or just DM us!

Good morning! (Or afternoon, if you read this later.) Who’s coming to our weekly open house tonight, for a tour of one of #Calgary’s makerspaces (a community workshop where you can build just about anything). 7-9 PM, Tuesdays 108, 1530 27 Avenue NE, Calgary

@HotMammaLindsay That, or they need an ambulance.

@HotMammaLindsay The two folks pictured there cutting that board are just friends, but we’ve seen lots of couples working on projects, together!

Do you need more followers on here? Give me things to retweet. Tell people what you do. Sell yourself! Include links if applicable. - Do you make things? Sell them? - A local business? - Gamer? What do you play? - Musician? Link to your stuff? - anything else? #yyc #Calgary

@revspacenl Can makerspaces and hackerspaces ever *really* understand themselves?

On a scale of 1-10: 1 being, “WTF is a #makerspace?” 5 being “I’ve heard about makerspaces, but don’t know why people join them long-term.” 10 being, “Here’s a link to my essay on the community impact of makerspaces!” Where would you put yourself?

Dig through this thread to discover some fantastic local talent, and, seriously, tons of great D&D podcasts. #Calgary, you are wonderful. @Crackmacs , you are part of why that’s true.
