WE ARE NOW ACCEPTING CHARTER MEMBERSHIPS! www.VOCADEMY.com/membership
Our Mission:
To be a Hackerspace and much more! A place for people to create, learn and play. Imagine a place that teaches hands-on, vocational, and DIY (Do It Yourself) skills. Then add a dream workshop where you can make anything YOU want to make. It will be a gathering place for those who want to learn, build, create, share and become a community of makers!
FIRST: A place that teaches many different fundamental skills and practical knowledge through affordable and easy to understand classes. These classes will teach you the "20 for 80 Concept" where we will cover the 20% of knowledge that you would use 80% of the time. The classes will be taught by those who have years of experience, and lean heavily toward the practical knowledge with minimal "theory." But that's half the story....
SECOND: a community workshop where you can use these new skills to make, fix, or build anything you desire. It's like a gym, but instead of exercise equipment and weights, we will have all machines, tools and "personal trainers" to help you. But, our "personal trainers" are people with years of hands-on and real life experience. They are there to teach you, guide you and help with your projects!
We will have several areas, such as: Metal Shop, Wood Shop, Fab/Welding Shop, Electronics Shop, CAD/CAM/CODE Computer area, Art Room, and Invention Shop (with 3D printers, 3D scanners, laser engraver/cutter, medium format printer, and more
Vocademy is set for a Grand Opening in MAY! We plan on being in a central Inland Empire location, near UCR, to serve anyone from the San Bernardino, Riverside and nearby Counties. This is a "grass roots" effort and if you would like to get involved, please let us know!
The location is shown as the interchange of the 91, 215 and 60 freeways. Our goal is for our facility to be within about a mile or two of this area. Centrally located in the Inland Empire and within walking distance of UC Riverside and downtown.
