Hi Dave!
I will write, although it will be my first post on this forum. However, I hope you will consider our candidacy. Many of our members have an account here, however I decided to write it as a representative of the board of our foundation.
I am writing on behalf of the Hackerspace Kraków Foundation. Our main goal is to provide people with our workshop space and to share knowledge. Sometimes we organize courses, workshops, etc.
Our space is divided into 4 rooms, which you can see in the photos and video below:
- A softroom where you can sit with a laptop, talk, organize a workshop or a show.
- Electronic lab - modestly equipped with basic tools and apparatus useful for every electronics engineer.
- Hardroom - a room for dirty, noisy or smelly work. This is where you can cut, sand, weld or varnish.
- CNC Room - A room where we keep our 3D printers, a tiny CNC milling machine a plotter with a CO2 laser.
We cover our expenses entirely from voluntary donations, we usually do not charge for workshops or courses, and if so, then the fee is set up to cover the materials used during them.
We all work as volunteers, taking care of the common space, conducting workshops or individually transferring knowledge.
Some of our activities:
- Basic electronics courses
- Workshops where participants built their own sensors to measure air quality
- Ham radio courses - preparation for obtaining an amateur radio license
- Arduino workshops introducing into the world of microcontroller programming
- Friday nighthacks - evening and night meetings during which we simply "do things" together
However, we lack a good oscilloscope that would be a great addition to our electronic lab.
