    This place has a contagious energy and really reflects our region's DIY spirit. The 3 "i"s in i3 stand for imagine, innovate and inspire and this workshop and maker organzation is in the the perfect space for the mission. They call themselves a hacker space -- this is the place to go to learn new skills, build a robot and make some neato friends in the process. You can just drop in and work on projects during the evenings or sign up for one of the many classes and events through the group's web site. The latter are extremely affordable -- I attended a beginning silkscreen workshop for $5 and supplies were even provided. Some classes are aimed at adults, whle others would be completely appropriate for kids -- though it might be best to check first. This corner of Royal Oak is turning into a creative enclave: 323 East is across the street and several design studios have also moved in. Makes me miss Neptune Records, which use to be right down the street.

    You can build big things here.

    Omg - 10x YES! You…read moreever wanted to get trained on some tools. This is the place they have a variety of selections available and you can also view those online along with the dates. Highly suggest doing the tour before you register for a class and or membership because you will get a discount on your first class. The trainer was super attentive and will help you build up your confidence even if you came nervous like I did. You always hearing horror stories about things not going right when people use tools even after watching YouTube channels. I attended the three saw class which included on hand training and techniques on the panel, miter, and table saw. Please note in order to use their tools outside of training you would need to become a member which is still a great opportunity for someone who's trying to start or began a new crafting and or trade. Did I mention that there's two shop dogs there? Yes, they're two bloodhounds that walks around in the lobby. Unfortunately they're not always there but I believe they are in the a.m. so if you do a tour make sure you say hi and they have treats available. Strongly recommend this place. I can't say enough about how happy I was just to do the things outside of my comfort zone. Happy crafting!!!

    I didn't know the right words, so they snickered and demeaned me…read more Then they repeated what I said very slowly, but by bit, with a snide grin. One person will tell you they don't offer a service, then another person will say they do. Their website is evidently wrong according to them, but they can't fix it.
