LA Makerspace - Logo Treatment

LA Makerspace is a non-profit member-driven community space for makers, tinkerers, and DIYers of all ages to create and collaborate. Our mission is to provide a place where youth can make and learn alongside adults and where members can work on their own projects while learning new, unique maker skills through our workshops, on-going interest-based programs, mentorship, and peer learning environment. We offer affordable classes, access to equipment, and member work & storage space.

Our volunteers, mentors, and instructors hail from different backgrounds and skill sets, including: Software Engineers, Hardware Engineers, Artists, Scientists, Teachers, Filmmakers, Roboticists, Rocket Scientists, Librarians, Executives, Entrepreneurs, Moms, and Dads, all dedicated to the proposition that making things is essential to creating an awesome society.

Schedule

We are looking for a new logo that represents the LA Makerspace to our members and to the world. We think that the best people to work on the concepts are those that are part of the LA Makerspace community and that is why we are reaching out to you to participate in creating a new logo. This isn’t a contest in the traditional sense because although in the end we will choose one logo to represent LA Makerspace, we are going to celebrate all of the designs that are submitted by presenting them on our website and in the physical space. This is a learning opportunity to receive feedback from brand and design experts and something you can use in your portfolio.

First Round

May 20th, 11:59pm - Deadline for submissions

Send your logo designs to awesome@lamakerspace.com

The Board of Directors will review the concepts and send feedback to the designers who can make changes and resubmit by May 22nd, 11:59pm.

"What did you do over summer break?"
"Oh nothing, just helped further humanity's understanding of the universe."

That's right, you could be saying such awesome things by this Fall.

Does radiation from space change Earth's climate? Does having more friends improve the quality of the air you breathe? Don't know? Don't worry, no one does yet, but you can help build understanding of these and other intriguing queries. At LA Makerspace's Citizen Science Summer Research program you will have the opportunity to work with research labs and set up and run your own research project. Along the way, you'll build your skills as a citizen scientist by conducting background research, doing field work, running studies, and applying mathematical analysis to your results. What you need: curiosity, an ability to overcome setbacks, and a starting question. What you get: research experience, the scientific mindset, and a push to expand your mathematical fluency from algebra to differential equations. Come be part of the exciting citizen scientist movement!

Dates: 17 June - 26 July, with the week off for the 4th of July week (July 1st - July 5th).
Time: 10am - 2pm
Location: 1933 South Broadway #1138 Los Angeles, CA 90007.
Cost: $2000/ six week session.

We finally did it, we got our membership site configured! This took longer than we wanted it to and for that we apologize. Our new site will allow you to check your membership status, find friends, see your level of participation, signup for groups and so much more.
