At UC Makerspace (UCM), we firmly believe that great ideas are meant to be built, broken, reassembled (with way more duct tape), and occasionally set on fire (in a totally safe and controlled manner, of course).
Our mission is simple: provide an awesome space where creative minds can bring their wildest ideas to life. Whether you’re a seasoned maker with a garage full of half-finished projects or you just watched one too many DIY YouTube videos and thought, “Yeah, I could do that,” UCM is here for you.
Our community thrives on the synergy created by shared experiences, knowledge exchange, and mutual support. Here are some of the key members that make up the Worknow community:
Great ideas often start with a simple spark—sometimes that spark is metaphorical, and sometimes it’s an actual electrical short (please don’t ask). We encourage bold ideas, unconventional solutions, and the kind of innovation that makes people say, “Wait… you made THAT?”
Making stuff is more fun when you’ve got a crew. UCM is all about teamwork—whether that means brainstorming wild ideas, lending a helping hand, or at least pretending to hold the measuring tape steady while your friend eyeballs the measurement.
Everyone should have a chance to create. Whether you’re a master craftsperson, a total newbie, or just here to poke things and see what happens, UCM welcomes you. No gatekeeping, no pretentious nonsense—just making, learning, and probably a little friendly roasting.
We believe in reduce, reuse, and repurpose—mostly because we’re too stubborn to throw things away. That wood scrap? Future masterpiece. Those old parts? Spare bits for something. Sustainability isn’t just about being green—it’s about making the most of what you have (and avoiding extra trips to the hardware store).
We love a little chaos, but let’s keep it injury-free, shall we? Wear your goggles, use the tools correctly, and for the love of all things holy, don’t test the voltage with your tongue. Also, respect your fellow makers—no project-shaming, tool-hoarding, or accidentally taking someone else’s half-finished masterpiece.
If you’re not having fun, you’re doing it wrong. Making things should feel like an adventure, full of discoveries, unexpected outcomes, and just one more trip to the supply cabinet. We encourage curiosity, experimentation, and that moment when you step back and say, “Well… that wasn’t supposed to happen.”
Whether you’re here to craft, build, learn, or just stare in awe at what other people are making, UC Makerspace is your creative playground. Come be a part of a community where making things isn’t just encouraged—it’s practically a competitive sport.
