The world's fastest electric motorcycle -- top speed 218 mph- was built at TechShop. So was President Obama's iPad case, the prototypes for Square, the smartphone dongle that businesses can use to swipe credit cards and a host of other Kickstarter projects.
TechShop is a national chain of membership-based do-it-yourself fabrication workshops that provide access to professional equipment and expert advice for a monthly fee.
"We are giving people access to the tools of the industrial revolution for the cost of a bad Starbuck's addiction. They are changing the world as a result," said TechShop CEO Mark Hatch (above).
