I wish this was more centralized; I live in the west valley so getting to Chandler, while not impossible, isn’t exactly on my “to-do” list either. It’s the same thing with trying to go to HeatSync. It feels like nobody cares about makers in the west or central Phoenix areas (on a similar note, for some reason when I was recently job searching, it seemed like all the software dev jobs were in the east valley area, too). I would have really liked to see something like this pop up in central Phoenix – perhaps in the grittier industrial area around the Grand Ave/7th Ave area…oh well. Best of luck to them; maybe somehow I’ll find a way over there.

They should come to LIC not Brooklyn. It’s much closer to what will be the new Cornell engineering campus and it taps a market that’s not already served by 3rd Ward and NYCResistor.

As great as this sounds, it almost seems like a walmart moving in to take over the local hackerspaces. I hope they work with the local hackerspaces and not against them.

Yes! Now I have one near me! I starting to seriously consider getting funding to open a center like TechShop in the Valley.
