Noisebridge is a fun space for sharing, creation, collaboration, research, development, mentoring, and of course, learning. Come visit, work, and use our equipment free (but please donate when you can!)

Noisebridge is also more than a physical space; it's a community with roots in hackerspaces extending around the world.


We're currently in the middle of a fundraising drive to cover some unexpected infrastructure improvements. If Noisebridge is important to you and find yourself able to support us please consider making a tax deductible donation at any of the following:

Most importantly, thank you so much for being part of our community and making it something that people want to be a part of. Be excellent to each other and happy hacking! 馃&馃

Noisebridge Lore

Noisebridge grew out of Dorkbot and Chaos Communications Camp in August, 2007. We have had regular weekly Tuesday meetings since September 2007. We rented our first physical space at 83c September 1st 2008, which we quickly outgrew, and were at our much larger 5,200 square-foot second location at [2169] Mission from September 1st 2009 to mid-2020; now at 272 Capp St. with 6,000 square feet just behind the old Mission St. location. Noisebridge was granted tax-exempt 501(c)(3) status in July 2009, retroactive to October 2008.
