October 15: Club Cyberia opens house at IndyMakes

Maker Spaces, sometimes called Hackerspaces are community-operated physical places, where people can meet and work on their projects – like art, hardware, electronics, robotics, and fashion. Club Cyberia is a place to learn, work, teach, and collaborate on technologies, art, music, and community. It will have an open house at IndyMake, a community lab focused on the fusion of science and society. It is a network of inventors, scientists, tradesmen, artists, hackers, and doers of all sorts that like to collaborate on creative technical projects. Check out the space, see the makerbot, enjoy some pizza, and meet your fellow Indy makers.

When: Saturday October 15, 1:00-5:00 pm
Where: IndyMake – 6229 Allisonville Road, Indianapolis, IN 46220
