Arch Reactor, St. Louis’ first Hackerspace is hosting an open house this weekend to celebrate their grand opening. A Hackerspace, if you are not familiar is defined by Wikipedia as follows:

a real (as opposed to virtual) place where people with common interests, usually in science, technology, or digital or electronic art can meet, socialise and collaborate. A hackerspace can be viewed as an open community lab, workbench, machine shop, workshopand/or studio where people of diverse backgrounds can come together to share resources and knowledge to build/make things.

The people behind Arch Reactor, St. Louis’ first hackerspace, describe their group as follows:

Are you a self-described ‘techie’ that is looking for your niche? Arch Reactor, St. Louis’ first Hackerspace is a co-op workshop and club for techies, tinkers and free thinkers. Part arts and technology clubhouse, part training ground for new skills and knowledge, Arch Reactor is a place for St. Louis residents to share and receive educational information and training on various topics and skills with access to the tools you otherwise couldn’t afford on your own. We offer a work space for all kinds of artistic and technologic pursuits.

So, if that all sounds right up your alley, or even if you are on the fence about it all, plan to head over to their open house this Saturday.

Details and all the links you need are on our calendar.
