Support Katie’s Community Makerspace.

The Truckee Roundhouse  is a community-created, community-run, community-benefiting non-profit makerspace located in a renovated storage hangar at the Truckee-Tahoe Airport.  We find community in this space, amongst the tools we collaborate, learn and share our knowledge making us all better people and makers.  We share our culture of doing, up-cycling and help build a healthier community.  

In our mission to support the teaching, learning, and practicing of a wide variety of crafts, skills, technologies, and arts in the Truckee-Tahoe community,  we provide the resources – tools and teachers and programs – in a collaborative environment for youth and adults so that all members of our community can explore their creative potential.

Since our opening in December 2016, we have been bringing community together, making a positive impact on education, youth development, and the arts.
