Fort Collins Creator Hub - Fort Collins, Colorado

If you are any type of creator, you will walk in and feel immediately the energy around you with people creating and building all different kinds of things. There's a wood shop, metal shop, 3D printers, lasers, a sewing and craft area. It is a space for you to create, to collaborate, to learn how to use new tools and new resources. I walked in and immediately felt at home! It is completely volunteer run, you need to clean up after yourself and maintain the space. If you are good with that then you will fit right in!

Fort Collins Creator hub is one of the most spectacular resources in all of town. My how they evolved over the course of the last several years!

Whether you're a student inventor, creator, designer, producer, artist, electrician, woodworker metalworker, 3D printer, laser engraver, Machinist, drone enthusiast, AI geek, or just a technology hobbyist you'll find everything you need and even more at this wonderful gem of an openly educational community.

Today there was a large group of students learning in a Hands-On educational setting utilizing the laser engraver system.

From lathes and heavy machinery to sewing/embroidering machines, soldering, and Arduinos you may find more tools here then you know what to do with!

It's only $50 a month for membership and if you sign up to volunteer for four hours a week or more you'll get eligibility for free membership.

I have recently become a member of Ft Collins Creator Hub and I very happy with my decision to do so. This place is a place to meet and work with very creative people and to meet new people who have a creative passion. I highly recommend that if you have ideas that you want to create or want assistance with a creation, this is the place to do it. Highly recommend and their membership cost is well worth it.
Cheers

I have taken several classes here and really enjoyed the support from the team. Well taught classes by helpful people.

Fees are reasonable, especially for families, and they are flexible on how long you want/need their facilities. I also really like that members can access the facility 24/7.

The place is still growing, and improving, so sometime communication is not always the best. (It’s a volunteer organization). So if you are planning to attend an event, sign up on meetup and ensure organizer is going to lead the event. If you just “drop in” you may find that leader didn’t show up because people were not signed up.

I took a women, welding, and wine class here recently and was delighted to get over my fear of welding in a relaxed setting and make the start of a fun garden sculpture. The place is loosely organized, as all-volunteer outfits always are, but I think it's an excellent and rare community resource and I hope that eventually staff can be hired and course offerings expanded! I would highly recommend the affordable and creative courses here.

Classes are taught be enthusiastic and knowledgeable people. From Arduinos to pour painting to welding there's some way at the Hub to learn to be a creator rather than just a consumer.

I appreciate that we have a vibrant maker space right here in Fort Collins! I'm looking forward to contributing to an inclusive and congenial community.

I was very excited that Fort Collins had a makerspace, and was even more excited to know that the people here are so nice! The space is still in its first stages of development, but with the diverse talent in this community, the space will undoubtedly be awesome in the near future. There are 3D printers and plenty of wood working tools and machines. It’s a very “free-for all” environment, so it’s key to reach out and get some info/instructions on some of the gadgets here. Everyone has always been willing to help me out. This isn’t a receptionist type place, so communication with the founder and members is crucial to utilizing the space. There are tons of classes offered, and lots of opportunity to learn new things!

I took an intro to Arduino course here. It was interesting and well-run. I understand the space is consistently being worked on and improved so I expect it will be even better the next time I come.
My major comment is that most of the classes and the leadership seem to be male. As a woman I would encourage the leadership to try to find more female members, and also to try and find ladies to teach classes and make the place feel welcoming to folks of all genders. I don't think that it is unwelcoming at the moment, I just think there could be more of an effort to be more balanced in gender representation in leadership and who teaches classes.
