\u201cI am so grateful to this incredible place for helping me rediscover why I keep pouring my soul into creating. Beyond that, the community here is amazing. At every turn, I found people excited to explain things and happy to teach their skills.\u201d<\/h4>\n<\/div>

“Being hands-on here helps my personal work and improves my own ideas. In my twenty years as a mechanical engineer, the engineering profession kept me more hands-off \u2014 in meetings and behind a desk. It is refreshing to be in an environment that is actively hands-on.”<\/h4>\n<\/div>
