About Made

Introduction to Made

Made is a flexible space where artists, designers, inventors, entrepreneurs, creative, engineers, makers, fabbers, and hackers can develop their own projects together. We facilitate the development of open and distributed learning community, co-production, collaboration, and entrepreneurial activities. Our organization is a cultural non-profit association. Membership payments are used to pay the rent and for the maintenance of the space equipment.

Our Mission

Our makerspace exists to enable, educate, empower, and connect people who want to make something beautiful. We believe that if you can dream it, you can make it- and you shouldn't have to empty your bank account in the process! We want to spread the maker mindset by helping new makers bring their project ideas to life.
