A first-of-its-kind San Francisco program that trains the next generation of makers is closed temporarily because of a fire, but Its founder is working to safely reopen as soon as possible.
Ryan Spurlock's nonprofit, Humanmade, empowers hundreds of people with skills and tools they need to launch or get a job in design and maker businesses. But a recent fire casts a shadow over the program he founded. 'It's pretty tough. It's hard enough given the cost of launching a business here and tooling a shop,' said Spurlock.
'It's given me a sense of trepidation,' Roane said. 'I finally figured out what I want to be in life and what I want to do, and then I reach another roadblock.'The fire is also a setback for entrepreneurs from diverse communities who rely on Humanmade's discounted access to equipment and mentoring to build their first tangible prototypes in sectors like robotics.Those startups are scrambling for space.
