## Structure
Vector Space is a non-profit community makerspace. Our founders and staff are passionate about making, and teaching others to make. We believe the most rewarding things in life are hands-on experiences shared with others.
## Mission
Vector Space is a makerspace and community workshop with the mission to build an open and collaborative community that fosters innovation, creativity, and the pursuit of science based knowledge.
## Membership
We offer 24/7 access to users ages 18+. Enrollment is open 3x per year and begins with a tour, orientation, and safety training. Members enjoy 23,000 square feet of shared workspace and equipment, a community of fellow makers, and discounts on classes.

In our ninth year Vector Space has reached a rythm with some of our programming. While there is always opportunity for a rogue project request (hello, prosthetic swim leg), we do have some reliable events that you can set your calendar to. Check out what's happening each month at Vector Space, both for members and the public. And, don't miss our monthly First Friday events, an Open House from 5-8pm each month hosted by volunteer members providing tours and a hands-on activity free for the public.

For the 6th time in Hill City Combat Robot history Vector Space brought robot makers from far and wide to our little Lynchburg hamlet to cheer, to clash, to laugh and to cry but most importantly to leave with absolute resolve to rebuild stronger, better and more bots for next year.

Peter Simmons, a jolly fellow with a warm accent, spends days transforming wood at Vector Space. A relatively new member at two and a half years, Peter’s roots take him back to Watford, England. Now, at home in cozy little Lynchburg, Vector Space is proud to say that Simmons regularly visits to kick up a little dust, reshape some wood, and walk through the door with material that has a story tucked under his arm.
