MakeICT is operated entirely by member-volunteers, so there are many ways that you can be involved with MakeICT at whatever level you're looking for.

You could join one of the leadership subcommittees, help out or fill one of the long-term volunteer positions, find something to do around the makerspace, or help out at an event!
