DM+D is a hands-on, civic innovation workshop that provided space, tools, and knowledge to empower citizens to create real and substantial change in their lives and communities. Strada originally designed the 4,400-SF workshop for NextFab Studio as a membership-based gym for innovators with hand tools, 3D printers, computer-controlled machine tools, software, and electronics workbenches. When NextFab outgrew the space, it helped nurture the DM+D. The open maker space brought together expertise in design, fabrication, electronics, and art, to encourage learning through doing for people of all ages.
