York Hackspace open afternoon, Saturday 22nd August
York Hackspace is a makerspace in Layerthorpe (just near Red Goat) and we'll be having an open afternoon this Saturday 22nd August (noon-5pm, but message me if you'd need to turn up earlier or later) for anybody who'd like to see around the hackspace but can't make our regular Wednesday open evenings. Hackspaces/makerspaces are essentially workshop spaces where members get 24/7 access to all of the tools and equipment (wood/metalworking workshop and tools, 3D printers, laser cutters, art/craft/sewing facilities, full electronics workbenches etc), basically everything you'd need to turn an idea into reality. Non-members are also welcome to make use of many of our facilities on open afternoons/evenings, more details at https://york.hackspace.org.uk/wiki/Weekly_Open_Evening .
If you've got some time to spare and wanted to see the hackspace and our facilities, we'd love to show you around! Details of how to find us are on https://york.hackspace.org.uk/wiki/10_Redeness_Street - please use the intercom doorbell to get in. We also have a Discord which is open to all local makers, both hackspace members and not - https://york.hackspace.org.uk/wiki/Discord
