Thank you to everyone who came, broke robots, fixed robots, made our Robot Party a success

It’s looking fantastic and already buzzing with ideas!

@bristolhackspace.bsky.social christmas party was a great time, lots of creative crappy robots and a great atmosphere (if a little damp, at moments). Pictured here is myself trying to figure out why we had no audio. Not stressed at all. Don't check the alt text.

This gothic lantern was built in the space using our laser cutter and workshop facilities, with layered wood construction and LED lighting.

A brilliant example of what happens when people have access to shared tools, time, and encouragement.

If in the future we had more space, What would you do with it? We want your ideas!

If we gained more space, what new workshop or creative area would you love to see at the Hackspace? Share your dream additions below!

We’re proud to be a community built by our community for our community, where creativity and collaboration come together.
We celebrate diversity and committed to fostering a inclusive environment where everyone can contribute fully. Each member plays a key part in creating a space that reflects this

I'm doing a lil presentation at this! That talk is sometime after 4pm but I'll be there all day talking about the hackspace and what we do, so come bother us!

We would love to chat to everyone, come say hi! 👋

Very busy but very successful weekend! One wall, multiple racks, and many many many trips to the dump later, we have our new storage area online and the main room cleared ready to be the new woodwork shop! Special shout out to Matt G for organising and being the driving force for this weekend.

Asking the big questions this weekend, if you were attending a Halloween event at a hackspace, what would you want to see?

I think it's safe to say, as the person currently staffing the Hackspace social medias, that mine would be "Hackspaces"

Random canvassing, what are you a nerd about?

Monday the 7th Sep is our next open evening at #HitchinHackpace.

Why not come along and see what the #hackspace is all about? From 19:30. Free tea or coffee and biccies 🫖☕🍪🙂

It our open evening tonight! Despite the record number of sign ups on the open day, tickets still sold out fairly quickly. We're looking into increasing the frequency of our open evenings so please keep an eye on our "visit us" page and our ticketsource link!

Laser room (formally CNC room) has been rearranged and looks amazing. Don't worry, the CNC mill will return after we're finished playing musical workshops.

We now have a fediverse presence! You can find it and our other social media presence on our linktree, in bio or conveniently located for you here! linktr.ee/bristolhacks...

A huge thank you is is in order for all the members who have pitched in to help today, this even would literally not have been possible without their help.

A heartfelt thank you from me to all of you

Another hour left to come down to our open day! Sorry for the lack of updates, we've been busy!

We started the day with 80 stamp sheets, current count is 13, meaning we've had 67 people through the space today!

If you are planning on coming to this open day and have reserved a ticket, then please check your email for instructions on how you can help us run a smoother day.

Ideally we don't want all 85 of you(!) turning up on the dot at 11am...

With the current number of reserved tickets sitting at 65, I'm going into overdrive to make keyrings today. We'll have more being produced on the day but this should be enough to tide over the initial horde. Hopefully people don't all turn up at 11...

It's time again for another Hackspace open day! This time we'll be using a Stamp Rally format to really let you explore the space.
