Formed in 2013, we have moved three times in total before being in our current location next to the Ballarat Tech School, a massive 200m2 space that is a perfect fit for hackerspace activities.

We are typically open Monday, Tuesday, Saturday with opening hours on our website. Tuesdays recommended if you are looking for a good day to come in an check out the space.

In the past we have had "Women's Wednesdays", an initiative where entry was free for Women and their Family or Allies. The goal behind this was to promote a safe space to learn software and electrionics together. In this time we had built 2 Prusa 3D Printers, and multiple small workshops including Soldering.

So come on in and check out the space and bring your thinking hat to find a new idea you would like to work on.
