Windsor's Nonprofit Community Makerspace

Events

Grand Opening!

You're invited to our Grand Opening: Saturday, May 25th 2-4pm

628 Monmouth Road

Free

Come and see what Windsor-Essex's only community makerspace has to offer.

A makerspace is like a shared community workshop where you can access tools and resources for making things. At our grand opening, you'll see our members demo the creative activities they enjoy doing at the makerspace: 3D printing, Fibre Arts, Letterpress printing, CNC, Woodworking, Stained Glass and more! What you would make at Meta Makers?

This event is also an important milestone for us: we opened our doors in 2019, survived the pandemic, and now we're celebrating a grand opening in a larger space with new equipment funded by the Government of Canada under the Community Services Recovery Fund (CSRF). You'll see our new CNC machine, laser engraver, 3D printers, and more. We want all of Windsor-Essex to see that these resources are available to them at Meta Makers!

Introduction

Meta Makers Cooperative (M2C) is a non-profit makerspace in Windsor. Our mission is to provide access to tools and resources to maximize human potential, enabling our members to be autonomous, achieve self mastery and fulfill a sense of purpose. We also believe that science, technology, engineering, arts, and math are an integral part of the making process and when people make, they become empowered. We are a social enterprise with a diverse array of skilled members who help make Makers.

Members benefit from access to a co-working space with tools and resources that they might not otherwise have access to. People come for the tools and stay to explore, collaborate and make. It affords them the opportunity to socialize, learn and teach. Being a cooperative, our members are active and engaged in all aspects of our organization.

Membership terms are offered on an annual, semi-annual or quarterly basis. Day and week passes are also available. Membership is open to anyone 18 years of age or older. Review our membership terms here.
