Makerspace Adelaide

Makerspace Adelaide is a community fabrication and prototyping space that the Growing Data Foundation has supported as a hub for hands-on IoT, electronics and open hardware projects.

Makerspaces provide access to tools — 3D printers, laser cutters, soldering stations, electronics benches — and, more importantly, a community of makers willing to share skills and collaborate on projects. For GDF, the makerspace connection supports the hardware prototyping side of citizen science and IoT initiatives including SmartHollow and the TTN Adelaide sensor node program.
