Pixelbar

Here we are again! Pixelbar, a hackerspace without a space. At least, for now. Since the opening where we announced the upcoming move of the physical location of the space we did a lot of work!

We had a pile of idea’s, lots of very enthousiastic participants and even more important a location within the Keilewerf where our new hackerspace would come. Since Februari we have made plans for the new hackerspace. Last week we took a major step forward, the mezzanine was finally placed. Now it’s far…

The party last Saturday was awesome! Thank you all for visiting, the presents and many thanks to all the other hackerspaces for helping out! This has really kickstarted the current space. We’ve also received lots of ideas and input on how we could create and arrange everything in the new (upcoming) space.

Keilefest did a great job on the festival, with artists like WLDRF and the great food and beverages.

But most of all, thank you Brenno for giving a presentation and explaining the world…

Our opening starts at 2 PM on Saturday, Februari 13th. Like we said before, we have some awesome things planned for you, so make sure to be on time!

First of, we’re happy to announce that Brenno de Winter will be giving the opening talk.

There will be food and drinks, live music and workshops.

If you use Facebook, you can let us know if you’ll be there. Or just give us a poke on IRC, Slack, Mail,…

Are you ready for a party? Because we’re planning to officially open the hackerspace on Saturday, Februari 13th. So make sure to put that date in your calendar!

When you stop by that day, you can expect several workshops from us and others at the Keilewerf. From making furniture to hacking with Arduino’s, it’s all happening. And, there will be great talks from people in the hacker community and live music from several bands!

The complete agenda will be published on our site soon.

Recently, we made a proposal for funding at CityLab 010 (Dutch). Furthermore, we gave a pitch to the city council and other related parties to inform them about the situation in Rotterdam.

We’re happy to announce that the Rotterdam government has passed this grant towards our cause.

You might be wondering why a hackerspace would reach out to the government in the first place. As a hackerspace we have certain goals we’d like to make happen sooner than later. This oppertunity has brought us…

Starting 2016, Rotterdam will officially have a proper hackerspace: Pixelbar. We’ve been a small community and are prepping a workspace in M4H. It’s time to meet, socialize and collaborate in 010. Bring your knowledge and ideas about computers, machinery, tech, science, digital art and let’s get this party started!

In addition to our workspace, we bring a few other things to the table:

• Awesome members that would like to meet you.
• Work with you on projects and explain…
