What is Makeroni?

Makeroni is an umbrella organisation for small popup makerspaces - namely HackWimbledon (for all makers) and MakeMitcham (for new/young makers).

We have physical meetings. HackWimbledon’s happen twice a month, approximately on the first and third Sunday of every month at Wimbletech. See the meetings page and signed up on Makeroni Discord to be kept up-to-date and to take part in online events.

Our social media presence is in the Fediverse with Makeroni@mastodon.org.uk.

And finally the website, Makeroni.cc, where you are right now, will be the base for a community contributed blog, and a launchpad for our longer term plans.

What was the original Makeroni plan?

The long term plan was that we’re going to build out the website to enable users to sign up as Makeroni members, complete with a location. As conditions changed, the site would enable groups of local makers (or visiting makers) to meetup and compare notes, hack devices and the like in a safe environment. So, that’s was the plan and we’re still up to implement it at some point so if you want to join in making it real, welcome aboard!
