Hey all,
This is HacDC checking in with the first blog post for the Great Global Hackerspace Challenge. We're a non-profit, member supported, community space that provides the tools and expertise to make, break and improve technology. We offer multiple classes a week on everything from yoyoing to microcontrollers. This week We're looking forward to the launch of SpaceBlimp IV to gather more data on near-space. The HacDC braintrust include artists, space flight controllers, computer scientists, econometricians and professional partiers. We plan to use every mind with spare cycles to beat the pants off our competition and educate the children (who are the future of tomorrow).
Our core philosophy is founded on the three B's: beer, brainstorming and high-fives. HacDC's goal is to create the atmosphere and community to empower people with the knowledge and skill to accomplish their projects. We are a do-acracy. We encourage our members to do anything that needs doing in our space. In that way our space can be a bit chaotic, but it's all in good fun. Membership is cheap and open, and we welcome anyone from the greater DC area to join.
This week we really took the three B's to heart. After a few nights of "meeting" we've come up with some killer ideas, some may even be implementable. We were vaguely disheartend when we found out that other hackerspaces had similar plans. What can we say, collective subconscious? We have decided that our only recourse is to do it bigger and better than everyone else.
Stay tuned for more update. HacDC out.
