  Curious what a makerspace actually looks like in real life? Come see it.

  This open house is designed for new and prospective members who want to explore the Waukesha Makerspace, take a guided tour, and ask questions in a relaxed, no-pressure setting. You’ll walk through the shop, see the tools and work areas, meet current members, and get a clear picture of how membership works.

  This event is not a member meeting or business update. It’s purely for people who want to:

  • See the space in person

  • Learn what tools and resources are available

  • Ask questions about memberships, training, and projects

  • Get a feel for the community before deciding if it’s a fit

  No experience required. No commitment expected. Just show up curious.

• Waukesha Makerspace Summer Picnic: BYO Everything, Bring the Vibes

  • When
    Sun, August 09, 2026
  •  
    10:00 AM - 5:00 PM
  • Location
    5765 S New Berlin Rd, Hales Corners, WI 53130

  Register

  Step away from the tools, screens, printers, lasers, and half-finished projects and join us for a laid-back Waukesha Makerspace Summer Picnic ☀️

  We’ll be gathering at Hales Corners Park, Picnic Area #2 for a full, no-pressure day of good company and fresh air. This is a bring-your-own food and drinks picnic. You’re welcome to bring something to share if you feel like it, but there’s absolutely no obligation. Bringing food and drinks just for yourself is 100% acceptable and never judged.

  Alcohol isn’t frowned upon, but this is very much a be responsible, be respectful kind of afternoon. The goal is relaxed, not rowdy.

  Expect casual games like bocce ball, frisbee, and other “we’re here to relax, not compete” classics. Feel free to bring any games you enjoy. The real objective is conversation, laughter, and enjoying time with fellow makers without an agenda or a stopwatch.

  Bring your own chairs, blankets, or other comfy setup. Picnic tables are typically available, but personal comfort is king.

  This picnic is a long-running tradition. Tom and Casey have been hosting this get-together for nearly 20 years, and it’s truly rain or shine. We usually bring EZ-Up awnings just in case, and believe it or not, the rainy years have still been a blast.

  Family and partners are welcome. Come for the whole day or just swing by when you can. Build nothing. Fix nothing. Just exist pleasantly with good people.

  • Date: Sunday, August 9
  • Time: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM
  • Location: Hales Corners Park, Picnic Area #2
    5765 S New Berlin Rd, Hales Corners, WI 53130
