The founder of Noisebridge in SF, Mitch organized a panel discussion on hackerspaces on both days at Maker Faire Detroit. In addtion, he was organizing the “learn to solder” area. Mitch is currently on a “Learn to Solder” tour of hackerspaces in the Midwest and he’s scheduled to be in Louisville, KY this Saturday at LVL1 hackerspace. The Louisville Courier-Journal featured LVL1 in a recent article:
“Maker Movement expands to Louisville: Area gadget builders open workshop”
The growth of hackerspaces, particularly over the last year, is just amazing.

Amazing that (1) there are so many hackerspaces and that (2) so many showed up for Maker Faire Detroit! But… there are 21, not 22: LVL1 is listed twice :)
The Toronto, OH listings should be Toronto, ON. Thanks for the list though, I was not aware of the Site3 hackerspace, will check it out soon!
Thanks for pointing that out!
Mitch founded Noisebridge? Really? I didn’t recall him as the primary founder when he, I, and many others were initially creating Noisebridge.
Perhaps you met he was a foundER of Noisebridge, one of many.
