A Maker's digital community engages citizens in creating on-line materials and off-line, hands-on, digital projects.

Goals: The MFY Meetup Group will be an exploration of ideas, connections, personal manufacturing, entrepreneurship, and business startup development. Your ideas and advice will drive your success and success for the community.

Viral ideas often are the spark that carries us to new places and endeavors. The viral idea of MakersFactory is being a collaborative place to transform ideas into marketable products. MakersFactory will provide collaboration and learning while building a community of personal manufacturing.  We will provide entrepreneurial connections that lead to local startup businesses and stable employment.
