Hello,

I'm wondering if you are interested in adding a section on makerspaces for grown-ups, ie. not in schools.
There are a few around Australia Ive visited in my travels, it would be great to have a bit of intermakerspace interaction, maybe to start with a list of links.

there's makerspace&co in Sydney: http://makerspace.org.au/

the Artifactory in Perth: http://artifactory.org.au/

Darwin http://mrgoodsclass.wixsite.com/science/darwin-makers

Newcastle: http://newcastlemakerspace.org/

And there are mens sheds in most towns.This is the one I joined while i was in Kalgoorlie: http://www.ckb.wa.gov.au/Your-Council,-Your-City/City-and-community/Facilities-and-services/Mens-Shed.aspx

It's so important as universities seem to be avoiding practical activities due to safety issues and difficulty. Makerspaces can drive the creation of small industries and pass on skills.

In the long term it would be great to have a national network with competitions and a convention? Idk if you're interested in any of this , but I'd like to help, if you are.

cheers,

Marcus

I am new to the Makerspaces concept, and am a retired and an inventor.
Makerspaces Australia seems to be about schools, I thought it was broader than that.
I have developed and am triallng a piece of dog equipment I would like to improve and possibly make available to other dog owners.
Where do I start?
Am I in the right place?
