Introductory Membership

New in 2026: $100 Introductory Membership (3 Months)

If you’ve been curious about Monumental Impact but weren’t sure when—or how—to jump in, this is your on-ramp.

The Introductory Membership is designed for new members and includes 3 months of access to our makerspace, events, services, and member programs—so you can explore, learn, and build with confidence.

✅ What You Get (Included for Members)

With your Introductory Membership, you can:

  • Access our makerspace during Open Hours (and other posted member access times)
  • Participate in our Quarterly Pattern of services and programs
  • Join Makerspace Services (equipment training, skill-building, support)
  • Join Member Programs & Cohorts (hands-on learning and build groups)
  • Connect with mentors and other makers across technology, engineering, and entrepreneurship

All access, training, and member programs are included during your Introductory Membership.
Members are responsible for the cost of materials used for their individual projects.

Guests Are Welcome at Community Events

Not ready to join yet? Totally fine—we still want to meet you.

These events are open to guests:

  • Community Orientations
  • Networking Events
  • Maker Showcases

They’re the best way to see the space, meet people, and learn how our quarterly schedule works before committing.

How Our Quarterly Pattern Works

Monumental Impact runs on a quarterly rhythm so members have clear entry points and repeat opportunities to participate.

Each quarter includes:

  • Community Events (guest-friendly)
  • Makerspace Services (free for members)
  • Member Programs & Cohorts (free for members)

So if you miss something in one month, you’re not “behind”—you’ll see it again.

Quick FAQs

Do I need experience?

Nope. Curiosity is the only prerequisite.

What if I only want to attend events as a guest?

That’s great—start with an Orientation, Networking Event, or Maker Showcase.

Is everything really included for members?

Your membership includes access to Makerspace Services and Member Programs. Some special equipment training, cohorts or competitive robotics programs may have a fee for consumables like material sheets and 3D printer filament, but the intent of services and programs is: members aren’t nickel-and-dimed.

Are materials included with membership?

Access to the makerspace, equipment training, mentoring, and member programs are included with membership. Members are responsible for the cost of materials used for their individual projects.

Do I Need Equipment Training First before joining a Cohort?

No.

You can join a cohort even if you haven’t completed Equipment Training yet.

Many cohort participants work alongside other members or receive guidance from our volunteers during Open Hours while they build confidence using tools.

Equipment Training is designed to help you become independent — but it is not a barrier to getting started.

We believe learning happens best by doing, together.
