Maker Nexus opened its first makerspace location in April 2019 and moved to its current location in summer 2021. Maker Nexus is a registered California non-profit corporation. Its mission statement is that Maker Nexus empowers people of all ages and backgrounds to learn, create, and innovate, with a collaborative community that provides access to hands-on training with professional-grade tools, lowers barriers to craftsmanship, builds confidence, creates opportunity, and fosters a culture of creativity and resourcefulness across the region. Maker Nexus coordinated with volunteer makers and donors to deliver close to half a million units of PPE at no charge to healthcare professionals locally and across the country during the COVID-19 pandemic.
