Hackerspace Los Angeles (HackerspaceLA) displays and exhibits technology that hopes will spark an
individual’s desire to peruse a hobby or learn more about that technology. All our workshops are
presented for free and all the technology that is presented is readily available and free to use, acquire,
or reproduce. We provide the resources and information where all this technology can be acquired.
We are transitioning from a 470+ online members meetup group to a formal non-profit entity. We are
working on turning HackerspaceLA into a formal entity operating in the San Fernando Valley that will
provide FREE access to knowledge, tools, software, and working spaces.
We are a group of technology enthusiasts building a #Hackerspace and #Makerspace in the San
Fernando Valley, Los Angeles, CA. HackerspaceLA is an advocate for the Open Hardware, Open Source,
and STEM/STEAM initiatives.
Some of our past Meetups have included following topics.
 Social Media for Beginners
 Electromagnetism
 Google Cardboard
 Revive an old Windows laptop using Ubuntu
 Basic Soldering Class
 Reclaim Electronic Components
 Let’s Talk Arduino
 VR and Augmented Reality
 Blender Basics
 Internet of Things (IoT)
 Looking for ET
Future Meetups include the following topics:
 Summer of STEM
 LibreOffice Basics
 Podcast 101
 Arduino Night
HackerspaceLA is a project that supports the creative process and personal growth of individuals by
providing a safe workshop space where individuals can learn and expand their skills, invent, and build
new products in a collaborative environment.
We want to build a community of creative and technological apt individuals to help grow HackerspaceLA
into a technology hub for the San Fernando Valley (SVF.) By developing close ties with education,
business, and city leaders, we foresee HackerspaceLA becoming the premier exponent of science,
technology, engineering, arts, and math (STEAM) in the San Fernando Valley.
Thank you for showing interest in this group and helping us grow.
