Neither a workplace nor home, Edinburgh Hacklab is part of the worldwide movement of Hackerspaces where members can work on projects, collaborate, learn, and socialise. These hackers don’t commit computer crime, but rather create, fix, improve and manipulate things until they are cool. At the Grand Opening, see the Hacklab space and check out an LED matrix hat, a robot platform, and other cool projects. Drinks and snacks will be available, but donations of food and drink are welcome. Bring interesting/entertaining gadgets, projects and ideas. See the Hacklab page for directions.
