Our Philosophies
Open Source and Open Support for All
Technocopia Makerspace works to nurture community by providing tools, instruction, and workspaces to create to our local community. We strive towards fulfilling our mission for all to have access to the tools, skills, and community to create by fostering:
Community Driven Stewardship
Our members are encouraged to take ownership of the space as a community, including cleaning and caring for the tools everyone uses, running events, and supporting staff in local community projects.
Cross Pollination & Collaboration
A goal for our Open Hack event is for them to encourage spontaneous collaborating between members. Our members often start up multi-disciplinary projects that they normally wouldn't be able to by themselves.
Open Source Learning With Support
We focus on teaching open source programs to use our tools when we can so you can continue making without Technocopia. Our culture of communal learning also encourages talking to peers to troubleshoot projects.
Leadership Transparency
As our organization grows, we strive to continue efforts to involve our community in our journey. We host quarterly member meetings for sharing larger organizational change, and newsletter emails about updates.
Local Community Engagement
A large part of our work is supporting and spreading our mission to our local community. We offer nonprofit memberships, provide financial aid, run public workshops, and table at community events to achieve this.
