In 2018 it’s fairly hard to avoid technology when you live in a first world country. Just by going on with our daily lives we cross paths with it. If you are reading this blog right now that is thanks to technology.   Being born into the age when technology is moving at such a fast pace is truly fascinating. Growing up, I was extremely fortunate to have had parents encouraging me to become...

Interning with Do Space has been a great experience and I am so happy to have had the opportunity thanks to the Girls Inc. College Bound Eureka Program. Girls who are in the Eureka program start preparing for college in seventh grade and this is my last year with the externship program. Last year, I interned with Charles Drew Health Clinic but this year I wanted to go in a different direction...

In the spirit of the "Humans of New York" photo series and social media phenomenon, Do Space has created a "Humans of Do Space" and "Made at Do Space" series to share the stories of our members, volunteers, and staff. What does Do Space empower them to 'DO'? Today we are pleased to introduce you to Dennis Holt. Dennis is a retired engineer who wrote us a lovely letter this summer about how Do...

In the spirit of the “Humans of New York” photo series and social media phenomenon, Do Space is inspired to work with staff and volunteers to create a “Humans of Do Space” series that shares the stories of our members, volunteers, users, and staff. The goal of this effort it to capture the people that are using the space and how it affects their lives. What does it allow them to do? What...

On April 28th from 10AM – 2PM we are hosting an electronics recycling event. Cross Electronic...

In 2017, our members accomplished great things. The Do Space staff are endlessly inspired by the people that we come in to Do Space to learn, experiment, and explore technology. From learning to search the internet for the first time (specifically "how to clear a pipe drain"), to starting Etsy businesses with the support of our 3D Lab laser cutter, Do Space resources have advanced your skills...

Do Space is a unique concept for which there is no other quite like us. That leaves us little opportunity to compare ourselves to our peers or standard benchmarks, but as a community-led project, we look to Omahans to let us know how they are using the space. In addition to taking surveys in every program, hosting online member surveys, and making comment cards available in the space, we also...

If you have not heard of Omaha Gives! then I hope that you will take a moment to check out their website www.omahagives.org and consider participating in this unique day. It’s the 5th year of a full 24 hours dedicated to giving—and it’s your chance to make a real difference, right here in our own community. Last year, almost 19,000 people gave nearly $9 million for 789 nonprofits. On...

Believe it or not, Social Media Week struggled with a poor wifi connection throughout the conference. It is likely the tremendous strain that professional social media users place on the system with streaming and device count, but that seems ironic nonetheless.
