A makerspace or hackerspace can be a complicated beast to run. They are places for the community to gather, where you can learn, tinker and socialize. You can hone your hobbies or develop your small business. Different makerspaces are set up for folks of different age groups.
Our mission: to support these spaces. To provide the maker community data a regular stream of information that will help spread the word about the impact and importance of these facilities. Makethedata.org is run by the data working subcommittee of the Nation of Makers. We conduct the annual Survey of Makerspaces, and other survey/research initiatives focused on making.
