Geek Group

For the final installment of this blog, I would like to introduce the ideas behind Geek Group. According to their website, the Geek Group Mission Statement follows as thus: "The Geek Group provides access to science, technology, engineering and math by developing programming and facilities for individuals and institutions to learn, explore, innovate and play at an independent pace according to their needs."

Membership is not limited by location or commitment. There's something for everybody - in Grand Rapids, or anywhere else in the world (or further). And best of all: 

MEMBERSHIP IS FREE: Yes, that's right.  I just said free.  Of course, it's a basic membership, but it's enough to get you started and for you to find out if this is the right thing for you to continue your pursuits into 3d printing. 

Basic membership is free to anybody, anywhere in the world. You get access to forums, live chat, videos, and project information. Geek Group often engineers projects and demos live with our membership, allowing anybody to work on flagship ideas. So you can become part of a team of designers.  A great way to build your resume if you decide to pursue 3D printing any further! 

Paid Membership:
For internet members who want to be supportive, Online+ Membership is only $20/month. This gets you perks to exclusive content, 10 hours of lab use a month, and access and control over a completely separate LiveStream that’s available 24/7.

The group recently published an article about how to throw a 3D printing party.  Here is a video highlighting that event.
