Mission

Noisebridge provides the tools, resources, and space for people to learn, create, and hack in a safe and welcoming environment. We enable a wide variety of community activities, from electronics hacking to sewing to wood and metal working, from 3D printing to 3D modeling and VR development. Anyone can participate in Noisebridge for free; no membership fees or entrance fees are required to use Noisebridge. Anyone can teach classes or hold meetups in the space free of charge, provided that the events themselves are also open to everyone free of charge. We're entirely funded by donations, and run by the community; no one is in charge of Noisebridge, and everyone is in charge of Noisebridge. Everything happens at Noisebridge do-ocratically: if someone things it should be done, they're empowered to do it. This makes Noisebridge an incredibly dynamic environment, changing in response to needs of the community as soon as they arise. It also provides a glimpse into a whole new world of project and community organizing, as most people have never been in a situation where they can radically alter their surroundings and build whatever they want, without having to ask permission first.
