The Cortez Makerspace was dreamed up by local students and built by Fundamental Needs to give our community access to tools, training, and opportunity. From 3D printing and laser cutting to entrepreneurship and trades training, the Makerspace is creating new pathways for youth and adults to learn, build, and grow.
Your ticket directly supports this work — helping us launch new workshops, complete the space, and keep creativity alive in Cortez.
