Knox Makers is a membership-based community makerspace located in Knoxville, Tennessee. It places emphasis on peer learning, creativity, and self-actualization while serving as a welcoming social environment and third place for its members. Knox Makers teaches and promotes use of open source software and hardware.
Knox Makers routinely hosts classes, workshops, and social events for its membership as well as an open house every Tuesday evening. Part of this weekly event is "Show and Share," an opportunity for makers to present their recent projects, successful or otherwise. [1] [2]
In partnership with Spark, Knox Makers adapts toys for children with disabilities each holiday season via their Toy Tech program. [3] Spark and Knox Makers also have an ongoing collaboration, assisting Spark's clients with bespoke adaptive technology and training. [4] [5]
Knox Makers organizes and hosts bi-annual Maker Markets. These open air markets exclusively feature hand-made arts and crafts sold by the makers themselves. [6]
Knox Makers was formed in 2011, directly inspired by Germany's CCC Mainz space and Chicago's i3 space. The organization's original 1,000 sq ft facility was in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, within the Tech 2020 incubator. In 2016, Knox Makers moved to Knoxville, expanding the workshop to over 3,000 sq ft. [7] In 2017, Knox Makers hosted a grand opening with a ribbon cutting by Mayor Madeline Rogero. [8] [9]
In 2016, motivated by a local group adopting a similar name, Knox Makers filed for a trademark. [10] The service mark was granted in 2017. [11]
