Tuesday Open Nights!

Every Tuesday evening members will be at the lab working on and talking about projects, and you are invited to come out and see what we do! The doors open at 7 pm. No charge. All are welcome. Bring a friend; the more, the merrier!

The longer version: We are...

We are a group of enthusiastic do-it-yourselfers with interests ranging from complicated circuitry and robotics to jewelry- and costume-making--and just about everything that might fall in between. We are located in Kitchener-Waterloo and our membership is drawn from the area.

Kwartzlab was born out of a desire to share our collective skills and knowledge, and to enable members to spend time with similarly-minded people. We are first and foremost a social enterprise; but instead of golf and steeplechase, we get together to put our creative and DIY skills to use (and of course sometimes, we just hang out!). We run hands-on workshops by members for members, participate in community events, and we have a fantastic time doing it all.

More information about the Kwartzlab, our purpose and goals, can be found on our "About" page. Membership info--for instance, how to become a member, and benefits thereof--is detailed on our "Membership" page.
