:'''A maker is someone who defines themselves by their ability to turn ideas into reality through creativity, innovation, and hands-on skills.''' Makers are typically driven by a desire to create and solve problems, using tools, materials, and technology to bring their visions to life. They often have a passion for a particular field or hobby, such as woodworking, electronics, or crafting, and may be self-taught or have formal training in their area of expertise. Makers take pride in their ability to think outside the box and find unique solutions to challenges, often experimenting with new techniques and materials to achieve their goals. They may collaborate with other makers, sharing ideas and knowledge to create something greater than what they could achieve alone. Overall, being a maker is more than just a hobby or profession - it is a mindset and a way of life that values creativity, ingenuity, and hands-on problem-solving.

  • We provide a facility with space and equipment for people to create physical items for fun and for education. PPM also is a place to gather interested people for all manner of classes and instruction.
  • We are tapped into and support the Colorado Springs startup community.
  • We are physically located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA.

Mission Statement

Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) is a community of cooperative hobbyists and early-stage entrepreneurs that empowers members to turn ideas into reality. We strive to provide access to tools and resources to confidently and safely design, develop and make.
Our goal is simple: Walk in with an idea, walk out with it in your hand.

Vision Statement

We exist to catalyze positive change, drive economic growth and social progress by empowering individuals to unleash their full potential.
We imagine a future where Pikes Peak Makerspace is the go-to destination for makers* in the Pikes Peak Region seeking access to resources and knowledge, enabling them to turn their concepts into reality.
Through our commitment to fostering a supportive, inclusive, and collaborative community, we will continue to expand our assets and capabilities to meet the evolving needs of the members.

Maker Definition

A maker is someone who defines themselves by their ability to turn ideas into reality through creativity, innovation, and hands-on skills. Makers are typically driven by a desire to create and solve problems, using tools, materials, and technology to bring their visions to life. They often have a passion for a particular field or hobby, such as woodworking, electronics, or crafting, and may be self-taught or have formal training in their area of expertise. Makers take pride in their ability to think outside the box and find unique solutions to challenges, often experimenting with new techniques and materials to achieve their goals. They may collaborate with other makers, sharing ideas and knowledge to create something greater than what they could achieve alone. Overall, being a maker is more than just a hobby or profession - it is a mindset and a way of life that values creativity, ingenuity, and hands-on problem-solving.

PPM Logo Usage

Gears are a common element of many other Makerspace logos, and for us it is also a subtle hat tip to the Pikes Peak Cog Railway.

Always try to follow these simple guidelines to use our logo consistently and effectively:

Animation

  • Do not animate as a gear or wheel
  • Bouncing animation as computer screen saver probably OK

Background

  • Our logo should appear on a plain background
  • Can appear on a colored background (such as a color from a PPM Tool Area)
  • Need clear space around our logo to avoid confusion
  • May use logo within QR Code

Color

  • Reproduce in black or "rich black"
  • Can be white (reversed)

Design

  • Do not alter any individual design elements of our logo (number of "teeth", wording, font, etc.)
  • Maintain proportion (do not scale or skew)
  • Do not attach the logo to other artwork

Maintenance:

  • Replace damaged logos (especially signage)

Reproduction at PPM:

  • The logo can be reproduced with our equipment, to demonstrate our capabilities: 3D Printer, CNC Router Table, Vinyl Cutter, Large Format Printer, Sublimation Printer, etc.


Our organization's name can be shortened to PPM, but not PPMS. (We use "Makerspace" as one word — not two.)
