Join the Vidette Makes community

This is where our members talk, plan meetups, share what they're making and find the people who know how to make the thing they're stuck on. It runs in your browser, with nothing to install.

Free to join. A moderator welcomes each new member in.

What is Vidette Makes?

Vidette Makes is a nonprofit community of makers based in Valparaiso, Indiana. We bring together crafters, coders, musicians, designers, engineers and the simply curious, whether you've been making for decades or are just getting started.

We host monthly meetups and talks, hands-on creativity workshops, mentoring and community service projects, all so people can learn, create and connect, one project at a time.
