757 Labs is a hackerspace located in downtown Norfolk, Virginia. We are located at the corner of Bute Street and Duke Street. 757 Labs provides a place to share technical resources and knowledge. It's a place for hackers (in the proper use of the term) and makers to come together and work on projects. These projects include artistic endeavors, computer gaming, electronics repair, hardware disassembly & reengineering, music jamming, and software design. The lab is also used by some local technology user groups to host meetings and give presentations. Our list of resources and tools is quite lengthy, so visit the wiki for more details. Membership is open to the public, but requires approval by existing members, and includes monthly dues of $50/month. Feel free to contact us to arrange a visit, though you can also check our events listing and Facebook page for Open Hack Days / Nights -- these are opportunities for everyone to check out at the lab: hang-out with lab members, talk about our ongoing projects, and tour the facilities. |
