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.
