TODO:

  • Connect with Nation of Makers to see what other makerspaces are doing to address funding and membership issues, operational challenges.
  • Talk with our landlord to seek temporary rent forbearance/forgiveness in order to stay in operation.
  • Get the previously formulated list of ideas/brainstorming for fundraising and membership engagement, find members willing to pursue these.
  • Consider/brainstorm ways that SplatSpace might engage with community, especially with the ongoing challenges presented by COVID-19. (Engagement with children, educational or pastime).
  • Update the website (highlight PPE projects, video from workshops, other activities and resources that SplatSpace offers as Durham's makerspace). Offer a curated list of others' activities, relevant events and opportunities. Standard things on Instagram, Facebook, Wordpress, etc.
  • Formalize a process for people who are willing to provide access to Associate or Student members when they need it. Andrew Odum and Scott both volunteered some interest in facilitating access this way.
