Explain how you fill up your hackerspaces with projects like these. How does this work?

If you limit what your hackerspace does to the simple stuff, the people who've had the opportunity to find what they're good at will more likely get bored and leave. It's good to have a mix of projects that keep people interested.

isn't it a bit expensive? I think people who are new to making want to try projects that are not that long and expensive, to see what they are beset at, their capabilities, what sort of projects are they into. Like soldering classes, or arduino.
