A linchpin of the maker community is Jim McKelvey, co-founder of Square, who legend has it, developed the first prototype to Square in a community workshop. His story is proof that tinkering is not a hobby reserved for a garden shed, but an active process of analysis that can lead to wildly successful outcomes.

Founded by McKelvey, MADE is a community-based workshop and prototyping studio on a mission to democratize access to the tools of innovation. Packed with cutting-edge equipment and machinery, including computers loaded with design software featuring the Autodesk Design Suite, MADE offers not only a space to make, but the support and camaraderie of a community of makers.
