Stateline Makerspace is part of a growing worldwide movement of people gathering together to make, build, hack, create, and repair things. These are often known as makerspaces or hackerspaces, and they’re like a community workshop. You personally may not have an enormous workshop filled with amazing tools…but now you do! Because you can stop by and use ours for free, whenever a member is present to host you. Or, imagine the freedom and power of getting a key for 24/7 access whenever you felt like making something! Just sign up for an affordable monthly membership and the world is your oyster.
We are a new makerspace serving the Illinois/Wisconsin stateline area, including Rockford, Loves Park, Machesney Park, Roscoe, Rockton, Beloit, Belvidere and Cherry Valley (to name a few). But even though our organization is new, our leadership team has nearly 15 years of combined experience with makerspace operations.

| We’re open to the public and give tours on various days and times. (See our Calendar for times.) We offer a variety of classes and other events, and host many low- or no-cost community programs. | We have (literally) tons of tools spread across all types of making and plenty of space to use them, and lots of talented people to help you. | Whether you want to learn a tool, hone a craft, build a business, or find a talented and creative group of makers, this is your place to build skills and community! |
