i3Detroit: Imagine, Innovate & Inspire

i3Detroit is...

  • A community of creative hackers and makers, sharing resources and inspiration
  • A 15,000-sqft workshop in Ferndale, Michigan, hosting hundreds of tools divided into dozens of Zones.
  • An collaborative interdisciplinary space, where we share every tool you've ever dreamed of and some you haven't, all under one roof. You'll make things here that you couldn't make anywhere else.
  • Completely volunteer-run, independent of corporate influence or profit motive
  • Continuously operating since 2009, inspired by and part of the global hackerspace movement


i3Detroit is not...

  • A commercial job shop -- you can't pay us to make something for you, but you can come make it yourself
  • Just a woodshop, just an electronics lab, or just a laser cutter -- we're all these things and more, we're whatever we decide to be
  • Professionally maintained -- we're all volunteer, so you might have to fix things before you can use them.
