APPLETON — Running a makerspace is Cheyenne Fritsch’s passion.
Cheyenne, 28, was elected as the president of the nonprofit Appleton Makerspace this summer.
Under her leadership, the community workshop has experienced a surge in memberships, growing from 10 to 55 — quintupling the memberships it had when it moved to its current location,121R N. Douglas St., a decade ago.
Cheyenne said her love for tools and crafts, along with her dedication to the workshop, propelled her into the leadership role.
“I wanted to solve problems,” she said. “I wanted the makerspace to keep exponentially growing. I didn’t want us to stagnate.”
The nonprofit offers members unlimited, 24/7 access to a 3D printing lab, wood shop, weld shop and crafts studio, filled with an assortment of high-end 3D printers, a laser cutter, computer-controlled cutting machines, sewing machines, and more.
