Power Racing Build Night @ Akron MakerSpace
Dec 10 @ 7:00 pm – Dec 11 @ 12:00 am

Fabrication is underway on Akron Makerspace’s Second entry to the Power Wheels Racing Series!

This is our next group build night held on Saturday June 9th, 2018 from 2pm-7pm. Stop by and lend a hand while learning to build a sub $500 pint sized electric racing machine.

For those not in the know, PRS is a racing series that takes place at maker faires across the country. Entries drive home modified power wheels electric vehicles in a guts and glory race to the finish. A second winner will be crowned after every race based on that teams style or “moxie” points. Crashes, costumes, and crowd voting accumulate to name this other victor.

Check out Powerracingseries.org for more details

Become a Maker

Normally our facility is open to the public for classes and events. Although members still have full access to our Space, public access has been limited to help contain COVID 19. We will again offer public classes and open house events as soon as we are able to do so safely.

In the meantime you can request a personal tour of the Space and learn more about membership by completing the contact form at the bottom of the page.

Our membership application is available here.

To take full advantage of the Space now we ask that you become a member. Membership is a great way to support the space as you gain valuable access to the tools, equipment and knowledge needed to complete your project. Members also receive benefits such as storage, discounts on classes, and the ability to get a key for round-the-clock access.

After completing the application and paying first month’s dues you can come in during our open hours and build! Open hours are currently on Monday and Friday evenings from 7 pm to 10 pm. You can use tools and equipment you have received sanctioned training on. We want you to build and work on projects, but we also want you to be safe. After your first month, you can apply for full membership with storage space, voting rights, and can apply for an access key.
