Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) maintains an Apple iMac computer, three Windows Design Workstations, 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 iMac or Design Workstations at this time, using the computers is "first-come, first‑served".
Members are also welcome to bring in their own computers and use our high-speed Internet connection.
