GoKawiilMicrosoft shuts down The Garage maker-space program
Microsoft has told employees it is winding down The Garage as a centralized program, according to an internal FAQ reported by Notepad and first disclosed by GeekWire. The Garage, based at Microsoft's Redmond campus with about 15 locations worldwide, let staff prototype hardware and software during hackathons over its 17-year history, producing projects like the Seeing AI accessibility app and Mouse Without Borders. Microsoft has also taken down The Garage's hall-of-fame website that documented past projects.
