Welcome to the Pumping Station:One, Chicago's premiere hackerspace. 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.

== Your Role (as a Member) ==
=== Board of Directors ===
As a member of Pumping Station: One, you aren't just buying shared use of a workshop, you're joining a community of people who love learning and making things, and sharing their knowledge with others. That learning and sharing ethos is what makes a hackerspace great, so embrace it to the greatest extent that you can.
This hackerspace belongs to and is controlled by its members, so by joining up, '''It's your hackerspace'''. If you see something wrong or broken, fix it. (or if you don't know how, bring it to the attention of someone who does and offer to help; you'll learn something!) If you want something to work differently, make it happen (the board, area hosts, and other long time members can usually be of help here).
=== Meetings ===
Every Tuesday night we have an open house. You probably attended one of these before you became a member. Everyone is encouraged to come on Tuesday nights to see what other people are working on and share ideas. It's always full of activity and lots of fun.
Before the open house, we have a meeting of our Board of Directors. It's mostly about facility maintenance, paying bills, and whatever other issues we're dealing with at the moment. If you don't want to attend but want to stay in the loop, you can [[:Category:Board_Meetings | read the meeting minutes]].

=== Board of Directors ===
Pumping Station: One is a direct democracy of it's full members, but most of the heavy lifting is delegated to [[ The Board | the board of directors ]]. They pay the bills and coordinate things behind the scenes. If you have any questions, you can talk to one of them during a meeting or email them at [email protected].
