About Us

If you are a current member and are not yet back in the shop, we want to help you with the new scheduling system. Join yo.atxhs.org, our new member forum, to re-connect with the community. Email reopen@atxhs.org with questions. For the latest details on our reopening, including current safety and sanitizing policies, check out our reopening plan. If you're all paid up, you can register and schedule shop time on Skedda. We are having some trouble with Freshbooks' new iteration, so please let us know if you run into trouble. Thank you for your patience and continued support as we take the most generous and safest path we can find through global pandemic.

What is ATX Hackerspace?

ATX Hackerspace is a Volunteer-run collaborative art, craft and fabrication space in Northeast Austin.
Members pay a $75 monthly fee to have access to equipment and space
These are some of the resources available for members' use:

▪ Metal shop (includes MIG and TIG welders, plasma cutter, grinders, bandsaw and chopsaws)
▪ Machine shop (includes Mllling machines,lathes, and Tormach CNC Mill)
▪ Industrial woodshop (includes lathes, saws, router, sander, hand tools)
▪ Two Laser engravers
▪ multiple 3-d printers
▪ CNC router
▪ Auto bay and tools
▪ Bio lab
▪ Rentable classroom
▪ Private Coworking area
We are a community of passionate experts, learners, makers, artists, geeks, parents, children, students, and professionals. You are likely to find expert advice and eager collaborators for anything you're looking to build. As members, we give our time freely to support the space because we believe this space is of value to our community. Since we do this in our free time, response times to ATXHS email and questions will vary. A class or a competency check-off is required for access to many of the resources listed above.

We're hackers (thoroughly defined here), which means we create things and we put things together in new and innovative ways. ATX Hackerspace is dedicated to encouraging and promoting technical, scientific, and artistic skills through projects, collaboration, and education by all legal means.

ATXHS in the time of Covid-19

Because we serve a broad range of communities, and pretty much the definition of a shared workshop is to share air and surfaces, and we want to do our part to keep our communities safe, ATXHS closed temporarily on March 14th for 9 weeks, to reduce the spread of Covid-19. During this time we developed health and safety protocols and organized PPE making efforts. We are now accepting new members through our new virtual orientation progress and will continue to monitor the local health situation and continue to do our best in helping keep the community safe.

We can send them by mail, or bring them to you if you're in Austin.] We've followed our city and county efforts to keep people at home and safe: [http://www.austintexas.gov/COVID19].  Though there's not as much "hang out" time at the space as there used to be, we have been remaining active with members digitally and several teams of members who continue to help get us through, making sure we have supplies for sanitizing, that major questions of safety and access are being answered, and that we don't stop building our community, though our processes for just about everything have had to change.

-We're really thankful for our committed volunteers, including the ATXHS board, who have looked out for fellow members, who are now reaching out to make sure all members who want to are able to access the space safely. These involved members have spent hundreds of hours reading, researching, talking to county officials, calling community members to check in, thinking about our community's needs, and carefully weighing each decision made around this pandemic.  It's important to us to keep members engaged and connected through digital channels and will continue to work to make sure our reopening is both safe and responsible.

-== '''GoFundMe for COVID Responders:''' ==
-We have a group of members and other local makers working together to manufacture equipment that will directly assist healthcare workers and COVID response efforts.  We will have one individual using our facilities to produce items, allowing us to continue eliminating potential for community spread at the space.  We also have an amazing small army of members using their own equipment at home.  Many of our members are out of work and producing these essential items on their own time and their own dime.  To help with the monetary cost, we have started a [https://lnkd.in/g2zqJFy GoFundMe] to gather funds to reimburse members for materials purchased for these efforts.  Please share this [https://lnkd.in/g2zqJFy GoFundMe page] with anyone you think may be interested!
