I am using the word MakerSpace for the same Hackerspace for just one reason, many conservative regions in the world are spooked silly when you say the word hacker. I shall use this word Maker so that youngsters and students are not barred from MakerSpace from these regions. Finally i would like to say that we can call them plain TinkerSpace, where youngsters take apart, fix, build Hardware, Software, Webware, Robots and Machines.

From Hobby Hound – DIY Electronics

Sony used to get the abandoned ww2 radios in the islands to design, make and sell their first radio units. Honda used to fix bikes from europe and america to gain the skills and mutate to a global giant. Take apart, reverse engineer, fix and learn. Europe, America and Russia did it long ago. Then Japan, Korea, Taiwan and others. Then the asian countries in different phases.

Hackerspaces are community-operated physical places, where people can meet and work on their projects.This website is for ‘Anyone and Everyone’ who wants to share their hackerspace with international hacker’s'paces.

Every kid is a born hacker and he starts with his toys, his mom does not like that, but he does not stop. One day he is building something pretty big.

Dallas Makerspace Wiki – Membership based, non-profit, shared community workshop and laboratory.

Milwaukee Makerspace – Social club for people who like build, invent, tinker and/or collect new skills and expand their minds.

The Complete List is being built at MakerSpace – dapj Social
