The smart home marks an end to the belief in ghosts. The hallway light turns on at 1AM. You now think about how irritated you are with the smart bulb API and your dodgy automation scripts. Much better than your building is suddenly experiencing paranormal activity.

@sshchicago @holdyourghost @agoX Welcome, Alyssa! Tuesday at 8 PM is our open house and member meeting. You’re guaranteed to meet some interesting folks. We’re about ~460 members strong.

[Pumping Station: One @PumpingStation1]

@Bruinou2 Hey there! We are member-funded and donation-based. Large purchases don’t happen often but when they do, there is a proposal and a member vote to spend from our budget. 12 years of accumulation and maintaining our own equipment for the most part.

Hey @3M, do you have any programs where 501c3 makerspaces can get PPE at a discount? I'm at the board of @PumpingStation1 in #Chicago and we are looking for a solution.

[Pumping Station: One @PumpingStation1]

PS1 as a whole is also back open!

Members may continue to wear a mask as they feel comfortable, but masks will no longer be required.

Have you seen our woodshop? If you can dream it, you can cut it on our ShopBot. David can show you how it can cut everything from signs to guitars and speakers.
