What is the Learning Shelter?

On June 1st, [freespace] fellow Marc Roth shared his vision for the Learning Shelter: a shipping container outfitted with maker tools – 3D Printers, Laser Cutters, welders, plasma cutters and more – to serve as a skills training center for those living in homeless shelters. The Learning Shelter will also provide housing to program participants (30 at a time for a 90-day intensive). 43 days later, there are 5 shipping containers in the parking lot at 1131 Mission!
