Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) is dedicated to supporting our maker community in their creative process by providing shared space, shared tools, software, materials and a knowledge base to turn their ideas into reality.
+
'''Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) maintains three Design Workstations,''' an Apple iMac, as well as other computers dedicated to equipment throughout our space.
 +
 
 +
Members can use our computers, and installed software, without any additional required training (Level 1).
 +
 
 +
No reservations are required for our Design Workstations at this time, they are "first-come, first-served".
 +
 
 +
Members are also welcome to bring in their own computers and use our high-speed Internet connection.

Level 1 badge used at Pikes Peak Makerspace

Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) maintains three Design Workstations, an Apple iMac, as well as other computers dedicated to equipment throughout our space.

Members can use our computers, and installed software, without any additional required training (Level 1).

No reservations are required for our Design Workstations at this time, they are "first-come, first-served".

Members are also welcome to bring in their own computers and use our high-speed Internet connection.

 


New Member Orientation

Classes

PPM announces its Upcoming events, including classes, on Meetup
To help out with any of the computers at PPM, post your ideas and comments on our Slack #computing channel.
