Hitchin Hackspace

hackhitchin@techhub.social

An innovative space for makers to create using state of the art tools, in a transformed former public toilet. Come join us to do something out of the ordinary! Our aim is to provide a safe inclusive space for people to access tools, equipment or technology that they may not otherwise have access to. Somewhere to meet, learn and exchange skills, knowledge and ideas with others. <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Hitchin" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Hitchin</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Hackspace" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Hackspace</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Make" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Make</a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Craft" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<s

It has taken a while to be assembled by the team but the #HitchinHackspace #GameBoy #Monumemtal has been assembled, raised in to position and is up and running at #EMFCamp. As it isn't waterproof it is currently cosseted beneath a purple gazebo. Do come along and have a game 🙂 It should be easy to spot. Update: It can be found next to the #RetroArcade opposite #Milliways. Near the junction of Noise Street and Interference Avenue.
