Hack Hitchin

Welcome to Hitchin Hackspace

Hitchin Hackspace is a community organisation devoted to providing everyone with a place to explore all kinds of creative technologies and crafts.

Monday Open Nights are BACK!

Hitchin Hackspace have restarted our regular Monday Open evenings. The Hackspace is open every Monday from 7:30 PM

Our Monthly Social nights are back!

Social night is the 2nd Tuesday of the month and it can mean only one thing – pub social!
We have returned to our regular social venue The Vic a very short walk along Bancroft from the Hackspace.

What is the Hackspace about?

If you’re not used to it, don’t be put off by the word Hack – as far as we’re concerned, Hacking is creating, improving, solving problems and learning new, (often pointless, occasionally quite useful, always fun) skills. This sort of hacking doesn’t involve stealing Pentagon secrets (Matthew Broderick has a lot to answer for!), or stealing credit card details.

So far, we’ve done fun stuff like building bat detectors, Lego vehicles you drive with your iPad, a 3 foot balancing robot and our finest creation bighak.

So that’s us – if you’re interested in getting involved with any of the projects that we’ve got on, if you’ve got an idea for a killer project that you’d like to share, or even if you want to come along and try your hand at something new, why not get in touch.

We have resumed our regular social events. We meet:

If you are interested in getting involved or finding out more about the space and cant make it to an open evening or just want to contact us then please do

and we can arrange a visit to the space to show you round.

Make. Craft. Invent. Learn.

We also have a Slack channel which is available to members.
