Innovation DNA

Niagara Falls has always been a place of wonder and power. Now, it's becoming something more. Have an idea you've been tinkering with in your garage, basement, attic, or back room? Have a dream but not sure what to do with it? Just curious about what's happening in your city? Then this is for you. We're throwing open the doors of the glidE² Innovation and Maker Space for our very first Meetup — and we mean *everyone* is welcome. You don't need a degree, a business plan, or a tech background. You just need to show up. Whether you're 18 or 80, a seasoned entrepreneur or someone who's never told a soul about your big idea, there's a seat at this table. Are you into creating and publishing video games? Building robots? 3D printing? Cybersecurity? Anime? Podcasting? AI and machine learning? Research? Social entrepreneur? Community developer? Or maybe something else entirely that doesn't have a name yet? It doesn't matter — you belong here. Innovation shows up in all kinds of forms, and so do innovators. Niagara Falls is on the move, and the people building its next chapter aren't all in offices or boardrooms — they're in kitchens, garages, and community centers, dreaming big and figuring it out as they go. Come meet them. Come *be* one of them. What to expect: * A warm, no-pressure evening of conversation and connection * Tours of the glidE² Innovation and Maker Space * Opportunities to create stuff! * A peek at what's growing in Niagara Falls' emerging innovation district * Free wine, beer, coffee & food — plus ice cream with sprinkles, Swedish Fish (copious amounts), and Twix Bars (yes, really) Come as you are. Bring a friend. Leave inspired. *Rooted in community. Powered by innovation. Built for the future.* Learn more at www.glidesquared.org
