AVE YOU EVER DREAMED OF A PLACE WHERE YOU COULD BUILD AND CRAFT TO YOUR HEART’S DESIRE? A place to find other do-it-yourselfers and get tips and advice? Where you can learn to use tools
2020 Ferndale City Guide
that would never fit into your garage or your budget? That place exists today. Welcome to i3 Detroit. We are not a profit-driven tool center. Everyone at i3 Detroit has a burning passion to create, tinker, hack and make things, driving us to create the best possible community and space. Our members take pride in what we’ve built and for good reason! There is a wide variety of diverse things to create here, and we’ve done it all as a highly-engaged volunteer community with a passion for things such as crafting, woodworking, metalworking, electronics, welding, programming, and digital fabrication. i3 Detroit is Metro Detroit’s largest communityrun do-it-yourself workshop. A collision of art, technology, learning and collaboration; whatever you want to build, you can do it here.
Located near the heart of Ferndale, i3 Detroit is close to many local events and an amazing community. If you are curious about – or never heard of – “makerspace,” then swing on by on a Friday evening, 6:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. to take a tour and get to know the membership. Excited? Come check us out at i3 Detroit. This might just be the place you’ve been looking for! 1481-A, Wordworth St., Ferndale MI 48220.
