Makerspaces in Perth
The Artifactoryhttp://artifactory.org.au/This was Perth’s first “hackerspace.” It’s got a very industrial flavour to it and blends design, technology, the arts, and broad-spectrum tinkering.
Enkel Labshttps://www.enkel.co/spaces/Enkel is a collective of innovators. Their focus is centrally on exploration of new possibilities, and they span some pretty broad ideas. The Vic Park space is a 12 month project, with negotiations under way for a permanent space in Fremantle.
