Mission: To
build a member driven hackerspace with the tools and space needed to
give a diverse community the ability to create, explore, repair, and
learn through shared skills and knowledge.
What is a hackerspace? It
is a workshop, an art studio, a laboratory, a classroom, a meeting
space, a tool library, a place that encourages the creative exploration
of the world we live in.
What is a hacker? A
hacker is someone who is interested in technology but isn't satisfied
just using it as-is. They want to know how it works, why it breaks, what
else it can do, who controls it, how they can make it their own.
Who can join? Anyone with an open mind and an honest desire to help build this community.
What's next for Make Fix Hack? Once
I know who is interested, we can start meeting and planning the next
steps. Creating an organizational structure, finding a location, getting
tools and equipment, etc. I have ideas, but I can't be a community by
myself.
What will Make Fix Hack do for the surrounding community? I
would like to do regular outreach events to support the area we live
in. Events such as repair cafes, learn to solder sessions, presentations
on any number of tech related topics (like cord cutting, digital
privacy, right to repair & more) "tacos and tech support" nights,
and many other ideas are all possibilities.
