Volunteer Projects and Tasks

What you can do to help out with certification and safety

Introduction

Thanks for your interest in helping the Makerspace Community!

Volunteer Projects require some independent work and problem solving, and taking ownership of the solution and seeing it through, but you have the full resources of other volunteers and staff to help you.

Volunteer Tasks can be done by anyone, more than once, and help build the capacity of the Makerspace and strengthen the community. If you would like help to get started, please email makerspace@rockvillesciencecenter.org or talk to Patrick in person at the Makerspace.

Please add your name if you'd like to take on a project, and strike through when you are finished. Thank you for helping the makerspace community!
