A “makerspace” that got its start in the garage of co-founder Liam Ellerby moved this summer into a 20,000-square-foot building on the campus of Nevada City School of the Arts, becoming one of the largest such facilities in the world.
For the uninitiated, a makerspace is “a place where students can gather to create, invent, tinker, explore and discover using a variety of tools and materials.” The Curious Forge’s members, who call themselves “a community of builders, tinkerers, artists and professionals who love to make,” have access to training and more than $100,000 in equipment.
