NEK Tech Meetup: What is a Maker Space and Should Newport Have One? Wednesday July 10, 7 PM at the 99 Gallery and Center, School Street, Newport

The Foundry in Lyndon Center is a community run non-profit maker space where members can come and work on projects, make prototypes for products and learn from others. Find out how the Foundry's members set up this multi-purpose space that serves tinkerers, inventors, entrepreneurs and crafts people. How is it working? Could a maker space be part of Newport's creative economy? What would you like to see in a maker space? A representative from the Foundry will lead this presentation.
