Overview

About

We are a group with focus on helping students become active as makers. Our mission is to promote DIY Culture, educate and advance a diverse Maker community through outreach, conferences, events and social gatherings.

Types of Chapters

A chapter can be:

a geographic chapter: for a city, region, state, or country a student chapter: for a university, college, or school

The larger the chapter, the harder it is to meet in person. Large chapters’ events will be mostly virtual meetups that occur online, whereas small chapters’ events tend to be in-person meetups.

A chapter can consist of sub-chapters, making both the in-person and virtual meetups possible.

Chapter Size

It’s fine if your community is small. Having just 5-10 makers who meet regularly to exchange tips and tricks counts as a chapter. What matters most is quality, not quantity.

Larger chapters have more flexibility to organize different types of events, but it’s harder to get everyone together for dinner.
