==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 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.
 +
 
 +

&bull; We are a membership composed of Builders, Tinkerers, Engineers, Artists, Entrepreneurs, Designers, and Educators all mashed up and revolutionizing creativity in the Pikes Peak Region. We provide a facility with space and equipment for people to create physical items for fun and for education. PPM&nbsp;also is a place to gather interested people for all manner of classes and&nbsp;instruction.
+
==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&nbsp;Railway.
  
−
&bull; We are tapped into and support the Colorado Springs startup community.
+
'''''Follow these simple guidelines, and always use our logo consistently:'''''
  
−
&bull; Pikes Peak Makerspace is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
+
'''Animation'''
−
<br>
+
* Do not animate as a gear or wheel
−
<br>
+
* Bouncing animation as computer screen saver probably OK
−
The famous inventor Nikola Tesla has some local history in Colorado Springs.
+
 
 +
'''Background'''
 +
* Our logo should appear on a plain background
 +
* Can appear on a colored background (such as a color from a PPM Tool&nbsp;Area)
 +
* Need clear space around our logo to avoid confusion
 +
* May use logo within QR Code
 +
 
 +
'''Color'''
 +
* Reproduce in black or "rich&nbsp;black"
 +
* Can be white (reversed)
 +
 
 +
'''Design'''
 +
* Do not alter our logo (number of "teeth", wording, font, or any design&nbsp;element).
 +
* Maintain proportion (do not scale or skew)
 +
* Do not attach the logo to other artwork or other&nbsp;wording
  
−
In the 1890s, Tesla conducted high-voltage, high-frequency power experiments here. A small plaque on Pikes Peak Avenue just west of downtown Colorado Springs (and only a minute or so by car from our Makerspace) recognizes his accomplishments. These days you might catch a member's Tesla car, other electric car or electric bicycle in our parking lot. 
+
'''Maintenance:'''
 +
* Replace damaged logos (especially&nbsp;signage)
  
−
== Mission Statement==
+
'''Reproduction at PPM:'''
−
Pikes Peak Makerspace 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 logo can be reproduced at PPM to demonstrate our equipment/capabilities; for&nbsp;example:
 +
3D Printers, CNC Router Table, Vinyl Cutter, Large Format Printer, Sublimation Printer, and other&nbsp;equipment.
  
−
Our goal is simple: Walk in with an idea, walk out with it in your hand.
 
  
−
==Vision Statement==
+
'''''Our organization's name can be shortened to PPM, but not PPMS. (We&nbsp;use "Makerspace" as one&nbsp;word — not&nbsp;two.)'''''
−
We exist to catalyze positive change, drive economic growth and social progress by empowering individuals to unleash their full&nbsp;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&nbsp;reality.
+
== AI Generated Content==
 +
AI generated content on this Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) Wiki will be labeled as such, to the extent possible.
  
−
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&nbsp;members.
+
Additionally, we are anticipating that AI “chat” interfaces for searching will become increasingly common,  
 +
so we will be continually improving content here to stay current and remain useful to both members and non-members.
  
−
==Maker Definition==
+
Our social media sites and communication materials may have individual procedures and goals at this time.

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 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 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.

PPM 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.

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.

Follow these simple guidelines, and always use our logo consistently:

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

Maintenance:

  • Replace damaged logos (especially signage)

Reproduction at PPM:

  • Our logo can be reproduced at PPM to demonstrate our equipment/capabilities; for example:

3D Printers, CNC Router Table, Vinyl Cutter, Large Format Printer, Sublimation Printer, and other equipment.


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

AI Generated Content

AI generated content on this Pikes Peak Makerspace (PPM) Wiki will be labeled as such, to the extent possible.

Additionally, we are anticipating that AI “chat” interfaces for searching will become increasingly common, so we will be continually improving content here to stay current and remain useful to both members and non-members.

Our social media sites and communication materials may have individual procedures and goals at this time.
