About Farset Labs
Who We Are
We are an open community of students, professionals, academics, freelancers, artists, hackers, and organizers that believe strongly in experimental learning and the Do-It-Yourself ethic. We facilitate technology initiatives and encourage hands-on learning by maintaining a workshop and creative space that is available to members. We maintain an inclusive membership policy, and strive to apply the principles of the open-software and open-hardware movements within our design policies.
The space is available to members 24/7 but if you would like to pop in, give us a shout on Twitter or Slack to see if anyone is about!
