Twin Cities Maker

Mission

Twin Cities Maker is a non-profit, volunteer-driven community of makers. We provide access to tools and equipment, education, and other resources to help people of all skill levels innovate, create, and learn.

Vision

Our vision is to be a leading creative hub for individuals and the greater community in the Twin Cities, a place where people from all backgrounds and interests can come together to realize their creative and technical potential. We strive to make the Twin Cities a better place by empowering individuals to build, learn, and share their talents and passions.

Our Workshop

We operate a shared community workshop, located in the Seward neighborhood of Minneapolis. We’re always expanding our capabilities, but here are some highlights:

• A machine shop for producing high-precision mechanical parts out of steel, aluminum, or brass.
• A large metalworking shop, for cutting, bending, forging, and welding
• A woodworking shop with almost any kind of power tool you could ever need.
• A high-end laser cutter, capable of cutting and engraving a wide range of materials.

Our Community Members

Our shop is run entirely by volunteers and is available to members all day and all night, every day of the year.More than just providing access to tools and electricity, our workshop is a meeting place, where members can collaborate on projects, share and learn new skills, and enjoy shared interests together. We host special interest groups dedicated to locksport and robotics. And sometimes, we just get together and watch bad movies.
