The Schantz MakerSpace was created for people who share the joy of making things, have a desire to learn or improve their skills, and wish to see the knowledge of craftsmanship survive into the future.
Classes Employees at Schantz Organ Company believe sound craftsmanship is more than just a company goal. It is a passion and a desire to create what few people can even imagine, in an environment that has encouraged this approach for over 145 years.
To keep that passion for skill and craftsmanship alive, the Schantz factory opened its doors to creative, like-minded people who now help us to encourage and teach the makers of tomorrow. Our community is filled with enthusiastic makers who want to bring their creative ideas to life, but lack the necessary tools or experience. We strive to provide educational opportunities and experiences for people who like to build, invent, tinker, and/or learn new skills.
Join us on April 15th from 7:00-9:00pm at the Schantz MakerSpace Training Facility to see what our tinkerers have been working on. Our feature project has been lovingly dubbed the "Colossus". It is a 4'x8' computerized lighting display that the Schantz MakerSpace volunteers are diligently building. It will be featured at our exhibit at the Maker Faire.

The TEVO Flash comes 50% built out of the box (giving us more time to print and review software), is ultra quiet, and has a larger build plate than its sister model, the TEVO Tarantula. This is a 2-Saturday workshop, covering April 13th and April 20th. Students must be able to attend both classes. Cost for the kit and the workshop instruction is $300.

At Schantz MakerSpace, we designed a class where students could buy CNC Router kits and, over the course of four weekend class sessions, our instructors helped them through the process of building their machines.
Learn About Our CNC Build Classes Our students have built over 100 3-D Printers and we are now rolling the program into the schools. We have completed workshops at Wooster and Northwestern schools and plan to bring the program to others in the near future.
Learn About Our 3D Printer Build Classes An Arduino is like a little computer chip that controls things like electric sensors, lights and motors. It is the ultimate tinkering tool for a maker. Most people aren’t trained in its programming capabilities to make full use out of it.
