Welcome to the HacDC Wiki

Welcome to HacDC. We are a hacker space located in Washington, DC. HacDC members improve the world by creatively rethinking technology. We break, build, and occasionally abuse technology in the pursuit of greater knowledge about how it works and repurposing it to build new things. Our shop is located in the Columbia Heights neighborhood of the District of Columbia.

If you're new here, you should start by looking at our public web site at hacdc.org and our discord (https://discord.gg/YTeBg2fEgX) . Our Wiki is mostly for internal organization, but you're welcome to look through to get a sense of what we work on (and consider joining yourself!). We invite you to subscribe to our Blabber public discussion mailing list. If you've already joined and are a new member, please visit our On-Boarding page to join the communications channels, get access to the space, hold an event/class, vote on new equipment (or make suggestions), and more!

2023-02-27: Heads up! Our wiki is being rearranged to emphasize our ongoing events and projects. Some of the older links may be shuffled to the end of the page, or be placed under a secondary "archive" or "archeology" page. Problems? Please message on Discord. - Calli
