Elections for the next Board of Directors are coming up! Beginning today is the
nomination period for prospective Directors. We are looking to fill three of our
Board positions during this election (see the list below).

We are an official 501(c)(3), and our current goals are to attract new members,
interesting projects, and exciting workshops to the new space. We need to build
the community of makers and hackers that use our workshop. If you think you can
help us achieve this very important objective, please consider running for the
Board of Directors! A Director’s term is one year long.

It’s pretty slippery out there, so we’ve told our volunteer to stay home for the night. We anticipate being open tomorrow, and the rest of the weekend as scheduled.

We will be canceling public hours for Friday, February the 9th due to anticipated snowpocalypseageddon. There’s a chance things will remain ugly throughout the weekend, so stay tuned here for any further announcements of snow-related public hours cancellations. Keep safe and warm if you venture out!

The hard work of Daniel Dugan to design and produce a new prosthetic thumb for Pete Blanshard of Antelope Antiques and Coins (right next to AHA!) has made the news.

The full article can be read here.

Special thank you to Daniel for his work and helping generate some good news in the world!

We will be closed to the public for the next couple weeks, starting tonight (the 16th) through the 3rd of January. Happy holidays! We’ll see you in 2018.

Our traditional “Election Potluck Build Night” will be happening this Thursday the 16th, from 7:00PM to 10:00PM (or until folks decide to go home).

We’ve had exactly three nominees agree to take on our three available Director positions for this term, so there will be no election this time around. However, come out anyway with a dish to pass, and get to know your fellow AHA members!

AHA has added Friday public hours from 2-10PM! Now you can get your DIY fix even more days of the week.

Public hours are staffed by volunteers and subject to change, so be sure to check back here frequently for the latest hours.

Heads up: we’ll be closed to the public for a special event this Saturday, 7/22! Our normal public hours will resume next Thursday.

Stop by All Hands Active on Friday June 16th for Ann Arbor Tech Trek!

Mini Lasers, Tube Clocks, Cardboard CNC machines, Electric Race Cars, and Light field displays are just some of the awesome things you’ll get to experience at AHA when our members demonstrate their projects and Backyard Brains shows off their research.
