Community Events
There’s always Something Happening at LM!
Lowell Makes has a TON going on all the time! Many of our events happen regularly and they are a great way to meet your fellow Makers and get involved in the Community. To check on the dates of any of these events, check the Lowell Makes Calendar. The events posted here may happen on an irregular schedule but are usually planned every month or every few weeks.
Meetups
Organized by shops and individuals, meetups are where you can find like-minded people who are into what you’re into.
Meetups are semi-regular gatherings centered around different activities or discussions. Regular meetups include:
Check the Lowell Makes Calendar for more info.
Monthly Members’ meeting
The Monthly Members’ Meeting is a chance for members new and old alike to get together and get caught up on everything going on around the space. Come learn about ongoing projects, completed work, new tools, and upcoming events. It’s also a chance to hear about new volunteer opportunities and to have your opinions and thoughts heard.
The meetings are hosted by either the President or a member of the Executive Committee so it’s a great way to speak directly to the leadership. They happen on the first Tuesday of each month and are hosted in the Lowell Makes Lounge. They are also available remotely. The video link is posted on the event in Basecamp and on the Calendar event.
Check Basecamp for more info.
State of the Makerspace
The State of the Makerspace is our annual extra big, extra fancy Members’ Meeting. It usually happens in the first quarter of each year, whenever our books get closed out from the prior year, and takes the place of February or March’s Member Meeting.
These events are a chance for everyone to learn what the previous year at Lowell Makes looked like and what’s coming up in the next year! We get a financial report as well as reports from each of the Committees to give them a chance to brag about everything they accomplished. We may even have food and drinks to make it a little more fun!
Movie Nights, Potlucks, and More!
Community is important to us. We’re not just a place to use tools! Our Membership Committee is always planning get togethers. Whether it’s a movie night in the Lounge, our MakesGiving holiday potluck, or our summer BBQ, there’s plenty of opportunities for the Lowell Makes family to get together and have a good time!
