It started out as an idea between a handful of Fort Smith, N.W.T. organizations — a fully functional Makerspace that can host an unlimited number of creative and building activities.
Last February, a group of Makerspace hopefuls began assessing interest. And now, the Thebacha Makerspace holds two workshops a week.
The small room has been loaned to the Thebacha Makerspace by Aurora College. In it, they have sewing machines, power tools, a t-shirt press, wood-burning tools, a laser engraver and so much more.
Whitney Locken is the coordinator for the Thebacha Makerspace. She said the organization currently holds workshops on Wednesday evenings and Friday afternoons and that everyone aged 8 – 100 years old are welcome.
