Ace Makerspace works because all members contribute regularly. Without active engagement by the members, Ace Makerspace is not possible. This page is a tool designed to make it easier for members to access the information needed to contribute in the way that works best for them on a monthly basis.

Leadership Contributions (as of 3/14/21)
Lead a project! You might have the skills to do the whole thing yourself, to rally a team, or to oversee a contractor. One way or another, you have the skills necessary to complete a project!
- Join the Edgy Booth Rebuild Team – See #greater-community on Slack
View all project-based opportunities on Asana (login required)
Taking on leadership doesn’t have to mean signing away the next year of your life. Ace Makerspace needs team leaders to move projects forward and hold the “vision” for the program team. Step up to lead one of these teams for 30, 60, or 90 days.
… new teams forming!
