Welcome to the Davis Makerspace Wiki!
Davis Makerspace is the home of makers in Davis, CA.
We are partnering with the Davis branch of the Yolo County Library, holding open hours with a variety of tools in the new makerspace.
Open Hours
If you are interested in volunteering to host open hours sometime during library open hours, please include them below. The library’s hours can be found here. We need at least one primary volunteer and one backup volunteer for each open time to ensure reliability. Prospective volunteers can gain familiarity with the group by attending at least one board meeting and two of either additional board meetings or events or open hours, after which you can fill out the library’s volunteer application.
