In our makerspace, I can build things, and help to build things, that would otherwise be impossible for me. There are people who have skills and knowledge I do not have. Without the makerspace, I would probably never meet them. There are machines and tools I do not own, and am never likely to own. They are all there for me to share, in one place, close by.

I can learn from others, and share the knowledge and skills I do have. It’s a place to meet people who enjoy doing things I like doing,…

It is an interesting convergence – lumber prices shooting through the roof – and Compressed Earth Block being some of the most robust building material known to humankind. After all, the Smithsonian did claim that sophisticated buildings will be made of mud. As such, we’re returning to CEB construction as part of the Seed Eco-Home project – AND building an industrial grade sawmill this summer. The CEB press and the sawmill are 2 important machines in the Global Village Construction Set. Making…

Die Pandemie lässt persönliche Treffen im Moment leider nicht zu. So verlagern sich viele Dinge ins Virtuelle. Dem Hackerspace in Neubrandenburg geht es da nicht anders.

Persönliche Treffen sind im Moment leider nicht möglich

Deshalb treffen wir uns nun mittels Discord virtuell. Ihr seid herzlich eingeladen uns Gesellschaft zu leisten. Über diesen Link könnt ihr den Discord-Server des Entität e.V. betreten.

Makespace and Biomakespace are back open! We’ve missed you. Hopefully you missed us too!

The spaces have now moved to “LIMITED ACCESS”, so that means any individual activities are fine, plus see the space tours on both sites, inductions and training: 

After a year of payment holidays, we’ll also be restarting membership fees to cover the space operating costs.

Full details are available on our Covid-19 page – please have a read before you come in.

We also did an update from the…

Hello world,

This is clobr1/necm1, Cloyne’s direct line to Cabinet for 2020-2021. Members circulated a petition that Cabinet wrote a response to, Cabinet’s response is available there but I’m reposting here for better formatting and easier linking.

Dear Members of the Berkeley Student Cooperative,

Thank you for the time, energy, and passion that you poured into developing, circulating, and delivering the petition you sent to us. We recognize that the petition is not simply asking…

Spring is arriving, vaccines are rolling out, and more people are able to imagine restarting their lives. For the makerspace, that means we are able to consider starting up some classes in a limited, safe fashion. 

We have had requests for welding and woodworking classes particularly, and we are thinking about what we can offer. We are also planning a class sponsored by Partnering with Abi, details to be determined and announced later. Let us know if there’s something you’d like to learn!

As…
