Workshop 88

Workshop 88 Workshop 88 is a community makerspace dedicated to the shared learning of all creative endeavors. For members the space is available 24/7. What do we have?

Workshop 88 is a makerspace (also known as a hackerspace) located in Chicago’s western suburbs. Focused on science, technology, mechanics, culture and the digital arts we offer a space where people with diverse backgrounds can socialize, collaborate, learn and make. Through shared resources, knowledge and ideas we strive to create a space that promotes an inclusive community dedicated to creativit

y and learning. This is a great resource when you lack your own space or equipment for projects. We have public meetings on Thursdays from 7pm til 9pm that are open to the general public. The meetings are informal and are not structured so it is a great time to come check out the space and get a tour. We don’t even charge for the sales pitch you get. We have a variety of equipment and spaces for all types of projects. We have an electronics lab and a woodworking and metalworking shop. We currently have 3D printers, a laser cutter, vinyl cutters, and cnc milling machine . Some of our equipment requires certification with a member.
