The Maker Station is a collaborative, shared workspace (makerspace / hackerspace) where curious and like-minded individuals come together to work on projects, discover new areas of interest, develop a new business idea, or simply grow their personal hobbies. The makerspace serves the interstate corridor northwest of Atlanta, GA. This includes Marietta, Kennesaw, Acworth, and surrounding areas. We started our journey in 2014 to build this space and we are looking for interested community members to help grow and shape this makerspace / hackerspace into a thriving, lively environment.
