Imagine. Create. Inspire.
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.

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.
Reminder:There will be no Maker Monday event this evening. The Wayne County Maker Faire served as our monthly event for May. Our next meeting will be on June 17th. Stay tuned for details.

Make your way to Wayne College from 10-3 to see over 60 presenters, food vendors and fun activities. You're in for a show at this family friendly event designed to showcase the creative minds of inventors, tinkerers, artists, scientists and crafters. Schantz MakerSpace will be showcasing its new creation "Colossus" (an 8' x 4' programmable LED light display), so make sure to stop by our booth. Make sure to bring the kids and visit our volunteers at this year's Harry Potter themed Kids Zone, where witches and wizards are invited to learn how to build wands using muggle magic. We hope to see you there!

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.
