What is a Hackerspace?
Clue: not a place for this
Hacking and Making
Make:form (something) by putting parts together or combining substances; construct;Hack: make or modify something roughly and/or quicklyHackerspace/Makerspace: place where people make or hack stuff

In GenevaGeneva-based hackerspace “Post Tenebras Lab” was officially created in 2009 at its constitutive general assembly. Our objectives:
Create an open community of hackers, artists, and open source/hardware enthusiasts to create, share, learn, and collaborate. Help spread knowledge to the larger community, especially in the areas of technology, DIY, security, and privacy. Provide a space for creating, collaborations, workshops, and classes. Provide resources (hardware, tools, materials, access, knowledge) to members and the community.
Assist other groups that share similar objectives. Seek to enable others, and others' projects; to help break down barriers; and to avoid erecting barriers

Open to all every Tuesday
It's Tuesday, time for an open evening @posttenebraslab - Geneva Hackerspace. Drop by as an engineer, artist, designer, musician, whateverC'est mardi, notre soirée ouverte @posttenebraslab - Genève Hackerspace. Venez comme ingénieur, artiste, concepteur, musicien, quel que soit
Open Source Hardware
ArduinoArduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for artists, designers, hobbyists and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or enviroments

Raspberry PiThe Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized computer that plugs into your TV and a keyboard.It’s a capable little PC which can be used for many of the things that your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word-processing and games. It also plays high-definition video. We want to see it being used by kids all over the world to learn programming.

Electronics & Software
Breadboards, ComponentsResistors, LEDs etc
Soldering StationsLaptops with LinuxPreloaded with Arduino devlopment environment
Arduino boards
3D PrintersDownload objects and print them outDesign new objects and print them outVariable precision / repeatability
Filaments in ABS and PLASoon: Plastic Recycling
No wasted material
Laser Cutter
Engraving & CuttingVery precise (laser focus)Engrave woodCut Paper, Cloth, thin plasticCut wood to ~5mmVery square cuts
3 axis CNC
Engraving, cutting & millingVery precise ~10 micronsVery repeatableEngrave: wood metal, glass, PCBsCut & Mill: wood, aluminium, metals, stoneRotating tool, so round cuts
Digital Fabrication
Idea -> CAD -> 2D or 3D Model
2D Model -> Lasercutter or CNC3D Model -> 3D Printer or CNC
In a short time, you go from an idea in your head to your idea in your hand!

DIY? no! DITDo it together
