There is a market right now for instruction on building out makerspaces. We have a local library that was granted 100k to make one and they are starving for help. Every school in our area seems to want advice and help. I think the Maker Works people are just fishing for 1-3 people to come and get first hand training and advice. I don't view traditional grassroot hackerspaces as their target audience, mostly schools and libraries. Maker Works identified an opportunity and hopefully will have a product to produce revenue to help the space. I think all this is on the up and up. I also would be willing to bet if an individual trying to start a traditional hackerspace reached out to them, a better price point could be agreed upon.</div><div dir="ltr"> <br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1413469216179_4543" dir="ltr"><br></div></div></body></html>
