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.
We sincerely appreciate all the support and encouragement we've received over the last few months. Unfortunately, Schantz MakerSpace remains shutdown due to the Coronavirus Pandemic. We had hoped things would improve enough that we could offer classes again in 2021, but that has not been the case. We are a volunteer based group. The coronavirus has affected many of us and our families. It is for that reason that we are unable to schedule classes at this time. Once again, we hope for things to improve and try to get things back up and running in 2022. Sincerely,The Schantz MakerSpace Team
Read MoreDue to the COVID-19 pandemic, Schantz MakerSpace has been shut down over the last year while we wait for conditions to improve. We are thrilled to see vaccines being distributed and the number of contracted cases continuing to go down in Ohio. However, we feel a strong sense of responsibility to our community and will be cautious about restarting activities. If things continue to improve, our hope is we will once again be able to offer our workshops in Fall 2021.

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.

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.

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.
