Level 1 badge used at Pikes Peak Makerspace

Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) maintains three (Windows 10) Design Workstations, a 27" 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.

Contact Us if you cannot find your answer here on our Wiki or if you notice any information that is outdated.

 


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.

Training

  • Do not expect files on the computers to be saved, use your own thumb drive or cloud backup.
  • Computers are for professional use only.
