Are you ready for a party? Because we’re planning to officially open the hackerspace on Saturday, Februari 13th. So make sure to put that date in your calendar!
When you stop by that day, you can expect several workshops from us and others at the Keilewerf. From making furniture to hacking with Arduino’s, it’s all happening. And, there will be great talks from people in the hacker community and live music from several bands!
The complete agenda will be published on our site soon.
Recently, we made a proposal for funding at CityLab 010 (Dutch). Furthermore, we gave a pitch to the city council and other related parties to inform them about the situation in Rotterdam.
We’re happy to announce that the Rotterdam government has passed this grant towards our cause.
You might be wondering why a hackerspace would reach out to the government in the first place. As a hackerspace we have certain goals we’d like to make happen sooner than later. This oppertunity has brought us closer to our goals without sacraficing the membership fee of our members, which makes us more flexible to make decisions and basically gives us a better runway for the first year.
Starting 2016, Rotterdam will officially have a proper hackerspace: Pixelbar. We’ve been a small community and are prepping a workspace in M4H. It’s time to meet, socialize and collaborate in 010. Bring your knowledge and ideas about computers, machinery, tech, science, digital art and let’s get this party started!
What do we offer?
In addition to our workspace, we bring a few other things to the table:
Awesome members that would like to meet you.
Work with you on projects and explain how we’ve build a few of our own on our wiki.
Learn you more through e.g. workshops and make them accessible for anyone that wants to learn.
Visit (local and international) hackathons and other hackerspaces together.

What can I do?
Maybe you’re already familiar with the hackerspace community, or maybe you’re not. You might have heard of us through a friend, or about us on the news. Either way, the thing you should know is hackers come in many forms: from food- to IKEA-hacking and obviously computer-hacking too. Everything is possible, as long as you share that information - you’re a hacker.
