Our Mission: To create and sustain a local, community driven, shared space, that enables education, experimentation, and collaboration, by applying the spirit of DIY to science, technology, engineering, and art.

Denhac is an IRS designated 501(c)(3) charitable organization hackerspace founded in 2008. Er, wait, what’s a hackerspace?

Hackerspaces are simply places for people to learn, work on tech projects, socialize and collaborate. Denhac offers a community space for classes and events, anywhere from lock picking to information security, to hardware hacking. We are open to the public any Tuesday after 8pm, and for classes and events.

Members get the benefit of 24 hour access to the space; use of shared equipment including the Lulzbot 3D printer, the sewing station, soldering equipment, and more; input on future purchases, station creation, classes, and events; inclusion on the members only e-mail list; eligibility to serve on the board and make major decisions for the space; and dedicated storage for ongoing projects.
