TELFORD MAKERSPACE 

Telford Makerspace is a group of community-focused tinkerers, makers and hackers based in Wellington. We're aiming to help people learn new skills, design, build and mend gadgets and most of all have FUN, using arts and crafts, electronics, programming, 3D printing, laser cutting and even more traditional manual tools and powered machinery.
