SYN2cat - the HackerSpace @ lu

This is not only about "hacking" and computers we embrace all forms of Arts and expressions!

A hackerspace or hackspace (from Hacker and Space) 
is a real (as opposed to virtual)place where people with common interests, usually in science, 
technology, or digital- or electronic art can meet, socialize and collaborate. (wikipedia:Hackerspace)

The space should become a hub for people to meet, exchange ideas, build up a hacker-culture and make constructive
use of their leisure time. Such use consisting of active participation in collaborative work, making up and working
on novel projects in various fields of technology, art, and more specifically micro-electronics, bio-engineering,
sensors, data protection, building robots and social software or creating audiovisual effects and music. As a result,
the space could also become an outlet for the creative energy of pupils who find themselves unchallenged by traditional
educational institutions, perhaps inspiring them to a career in technology. (from our Info-Folder)
