Learn How TechShop Can Change Your Manufacturing Business
Friday October 7, 2016 8:00 am – 9:30 am
From Boston to Silicon Valley and everywhere in between, the Maker Movement is sweeping the U.S. innovation community, as individuals or groups are creating and marketing products for a global audience. One of the centers of the nationwide Maker Movement is TechShop, a membership-based, national chain of maker spaces that attract businesses, entrepreneurs, students, and hobbyists alike, helping them to bring ideas to life with state-of-the-art equipment and collaborative design space. TechShop’s 18,000-square-foot St. Louis location is in the heart of the Cortex Innovation Community inside a new three-story building, at the corner of Boyle and Forest Park Avenues.
Noted as the launchpad for countless innovations, including Jim McKelvey and Jack Dorsey’s prototype for mobile payment platform… Square, TechShop members have access to a world-class workshop with the machines, tools, training, inspiration and support they need to pursue their passions, develop new skills and launch new businesses.
Tours of TechShop will be given at the event.
