Overview of i3Detroit

--- NOTE --- CURRENTLY (March 2020) CLOSED AS PER GOVERNOR'S EMERGENCY ORDER FOR MITIGATION OF COVID-19 SPREAD --- NOTE ---

i3Detroit is not a coworking space as you may imagine it! We're a makerspace, or a hackerspace, depending on who you ask. We share resources and work on individual or group projects, so the literal term "co-working" is spot-on, but there are no office desks here, not hardly! And definitely no private meeting rooms...

Instead, within our space, you'll find implements of innovation. Tools to translate your imagination into physical objects. A community of creative makers unlike any other. From sewing machines to chop saws, 3D printers to ceramics kilns, we share equipment and ideas to make whatever we feel like.

And it's all run by member-volunteers, in a community where YOU take on whatever roles you can. Have a skill you want to teach? That's how classes get on the calendar! Know how to fix a machine that's broken? That's how all the equipment keeps running! It's radically participatory -- there are no customers here!

Because every member is trusted with a key to the building, there's a bit of an orientation process. On our website, you'll find the "experience quest" that'll lead you through both the space itself, and the community that runs it, to learn what you need to know as an equal participant therein. It's a good idea to spend some time around the space, come to a tour, drop in for a meeting (tuesdays, see the calendar), maybe attend a class or help host one, before taking the membership plunge.

THIS MEANS YOU CAN'T JUST WALK IN AND EXCHANGE MONEY FOR A KEY. Yes, yelling is rude, (wait, you mean caps-lock isn't cruise-control for cool?), but we need to be really clear about that. i3Detroit is unlike anything else you'll find on Coworker, so disabuse yourself of those assumptions! Swing by for a tour any Friday evening, you'll see what we mean.

It's a magical place, but it's not your typical coworking space.
