Are you a member of your local Hackerspace?

Recently the element14 Community team visited a local Hackerspace (Pumping Station: One) in Chicago. In fact, you can read all about it here in this blog.  It was such a great experience and we were interested in learning if you, the members of element14 Community, are members of your local Hackerspace?  If so, we'd love to hear about it!  Even better - share a photo of your Hackerspaces with us!  Let us know which Hackerspace you belong to by adding a reply to this discussion.  (Just remember, you must be logged in to reply.)

 

Not sure what the heck a Hackerspace is?  Check out this link.

    Sadly there isn't one near where I live. They don't seem to have taken off here in the UK in quite the same way as they have elsewhere.

    Thinking about it is one thing, finding enough like-minded people to do it is much more of a challenge. image

    I'm a member of the Houston Hackerspace (we prefer the term "Makerspace"). TXRX labs (Transmit/Receive, get it? I thought you might ...).

     

    http://www.txrxlabs.org/   [ Blog ]

     

    Check out our class listings on tthe blog. And if you're ever in Houston come on in for our weekly Open House (Friday nights) and Pancake Sunday events.

     

    We have the usual Social Media outlets (facebook, twitter) but so far the bulk of the discussions are taking place in our Google Group (you can join as long as

    you talk/play nice).

     

    txrxlabs@googlegroups.com

     

    We're in the process of getting together a gallery of pictures. We have a HUGE amount of space (two large warehouses) just south of downtown Houston. And an AMAZING group of people and projects brewing.

     

    From our ABOUT section -

    Why TX/RX Labs?

     

    Imagine how much innovation could occur if the creative community in Houston had access to the tools and knowledge needed to bring its ideas to fruition.  We believe that we must revive the tradition of design and manufacturing in America after decades of neglect and decline.  Many of America’s greatest industries began in inspired moments in garage workshops.  We hope to provide you with that workshop through our classes and other educational programs, collective wisdom, and lab space.
