We are Knox Makers

Knox Makers is an infrastructure provider for technical-creative projects, collaboratively run by its members. We are incorporated as a non-profit corporation for public benefit. We operate primarily in a 1,100 square-foot space located in the Knoxville Technology Corridor. We teach, we learn, we share. Read more about Knox Makers.
