A hackerspace is a place where people with similar interests in technology, science, art, culture, and making meet. Activities are not in the slightest restricted to only computer science, but also emerge from electronics, contemporary art, photography, and any and all other pursuits worth sharing. The warp3<\/a> hackerspace offers a turnkey infrastructure to its members where innovative projects that would not come to life in a garage, can find nourishment and support.<\/p>\n\n\n

What you can find in a hackerspace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Located in DIfferdange, close to the LPEM<\/a> the syn2<\/sub>cat has 160m\u00b2 of indoor hackerspace. Among the facilities syn2<\/sub>cat has to offer is an extensive library populated with books and magazines about technology, science, and culture, large work desks for software and hardware development, local servers,  soldering stations with a large selection of electronic parts, tools and hardware utilities, gaming consoles, and — of course — an internet access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

syn2<\/sub>cat’s members also realize that sometimes it’s good to step away from the internet connection and connect… with each other. We have a chill area, where members can kick back and relax, socialize, organize events, and eat and drink a little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside the hackerspace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The space is available 24\/7 to members, because creativity has no office hours. In a world where media is constantly reinventing itself and providing new channels of communication, we believe in an open and collaborative spirit, and share culture and knowledge along the same principles. Our contributions to openness are OpenAccess to educational and research materials, OpenSource, and OpenSpace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of our fundamental goals is the wide distribution and openness of knowledge. We strongly believe that this works best in an open environment where everyone has the same rights to access this knowledge in an informal but effective way. However, not only know-how and hardware is shared, awareness of responsibility also is part of the package. People visiting the hackerspace are invited to talk about their beliefs and discuss their opinions with other members.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
