Makers Local 256 is a 501c3 charitable non-profit of like-minded individuals who have created a hackerspace located in Huntsville, AL.

August 6th was our second Repair Café at Makers Local 256! Had a bunch of people come over with various items needing to be fixed, like mixers, weedwackers, lights, and even retro game consoles! Thanks to everyone who came out, especially our volunteer repairers! If you missed this month’s Repair Café, our next one will be on Wednesday, September 3rd!

Over the last couple of weeks, we’ve had two successful classes! Brian taught a class on relief carving, and Ryen did a class on making heat-transfer vinyls for shirts and bags! More classes are on the way, so stay tuned!
