Elgin Beta Space & Maker's Network

We are creators, inventors, mentors, leaders, teachers, students, entrepreneurs, small business owners, artists, musicians, and all around curious folk that are inspired about how the world ticks. Communities across the United States are home to numerous thinkers, inventors, and creative people with a wide range of skills and talent. Many of these makers work by themselves in their own garage, workshop, or at a coffee shop. A strong entrepreneurial ecosystem that supports these innovators and encourages them to develop new skills, be innovative, and pursue their entrepreneurial ideas is important in furthering economic growth. The main objective of this proposed project is to review innovative practices in building an entrepreneurial ecosystem based on talent, innovation, and creativity that fosters a vibrant local economy, in addition to provide actionable recommendations for Elgin, TX and interested communities. A makerspace initiative thrives from the creative process and personal growth through providing a workshop space where amateurs and professionals interested in various fields such as electronics, robotics, software, wood or metal working, art, video, photography, or any other creative process can expand their skills, invent, and build new products in a collaborative environment. Makerspaces are places where like-minded persons gather to work on personal projects, share tools and expertise as well as learn from each other. (Tweney, March 29, 2009).
