Purpose

Red Mountain Makers’ purpose is to engage in scientific and artistic research, experimentation, and education. We provide a work space, a collaborative and supportive community, and other resources for projects related to technology and artistic expression. We develop and support the development of free and open source software and hardware.

Space

We are currently focused on building a group of people and working on projects before focusing on acquiring space. The meet-up group is nomadic until the space is acquired with biweekly meetings (2nd and 4th tuesdays, with location set at the previous meeting) plus project days set by project hosts at the biweekly meeting. We're looking for large spaces downtown with working plumbing and electrical.
