Winston-Salem Mixxer is a nonprofit community makerspace. Our business model is very similar to the YMCA. Members come here to access tools, workspaces, and a supportive community of makers. We also offer workshops to help people Make Stuff and Learn Stuff, as well as educational programming for students in grades 6 thru 12.
Mixxer has a developed a culture of cooperation and inclusion. We have opportunities for volunteers to engage with members, greet visitors, give tours of our facility, and help make people feel welcome during our public events. There are also special occasions of educational programming where additional moral support and someone to talk through processes can benefit students that need a little extra encouragement.
