Welcome
Welcome to the South Side Hackerspace: Chicago wiki page! Our wiki acts as a resource to the public and members alike. Please take a look around and let us know if you have any questions!
Who we are
We are a group of makers and hackers who have started a hackerspace on the south side of Chicago (in Bridgeport). We are seeking hackers, tinkerers, hobbyists, crafters, artists and doers to help us create a social, educational and collaborative space for ourselves and the community. You can learn more about hackerspaces on hackerspaces.org and Wikipedia. If you have questions about us in particular, check our FAQ.
We're currently open for hacking! If you're interested, feel free to stop by our regular general body meetings, every Wednesday at 7:30PM!
