Welcome
Welcome to the Pumping Station:One! Chicago's Hackerspace. We do a lot of diverse things here, so I'm not sure I can encapsulate any of it briefly, but here goes: We do woodworking, software, metalworking, art, crafts, electronics, chemistry, power wheel racing, TARDIS building, green technology, nanotechnology, tinkering, dismantling of robots, assembling of robots, music, biotechnology, CNC, and the many ways all those subjects (and more) intersect and collaborate. So head on over to the Wiki Page Skills Exchange add your name, what you know, and what you want to know, and before you can lower your shields and surrender your ships we will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile... I mean you'll fit in nicely here.
