Pikes Makerspace (PPM) has generated and placed unique QR Codes throughout the building:

  • QR Code on our front door to schedule a tour.
  • QR Code on our "Mall Map" which links to the PPM Wiki Main page.
  • QR Code to link to our Waiver.
  • QR Code to Check-in / Check-out to our Wood Shop.
  • We have a QR Code on our storage cabinet in our Vented Room,
  • We use QR Codes to link to our payment collection services such as PayPal.
  • Finally, we have plans to incorporate QR Code usage even more extensively in the very near future, to link into our wiki, for example.
