Mothership HackerMoms, a Mom-Centered Hackerspace in Oakland
Moms, It’s time to take your projects and dreams off hold. Mothership HackerMoms* invites you to our first meeting — with babysitters hired for the occasion — because you are a sharp, fascinating and delightful woman with mad skills. Be ready to talk about your projects and interests. It’ll be half intro, half mom’s group. We’ll start with wine and a craft-peritif to get our hands moving.
Mothership HackerMoms is the first women’s hackerspace. It’s dedicated to giving mothers the time and space to explore DIY craft and design, hacker/maker culture, entrepreneurship, and all manner of creative expression. Because our kids learn from us, we will provide stimulating, on-site childcare whenever we are open. We share tools, space and expertise through peer-learning workshops and classes. We’ll begin with a weekly open meeting Thursday evenings and Sunday workshop and open work day (11am-5pm), all with childcare. As we expand, we hope to provide an equipped workshop, kitchen, art studio and workspace where our members can collaborate and create.
When: This Thursday, Sept. 8 from 7-9 pm, and every Thursday night going forward. We’ll start on time to be out by bedtime.
