HackerspaceHackerspaces can be viewed as open community

labs incorporating elements of machine shops, workshops and/or studios where hackers can come together to share resources and knowledge to build and make things.[

Many hackerspaces participate in the use and development of free software, open hardware, and alternative media. They are often physically located in social centers, adult education centers, public schools, or on university campuses, but may relocate to industrial or warehouse space when they need more room.
