What is ThinkHaus?

Our current vision of the ThinkHaus Space goes something like this:

We want to create a place for:

meeting up with people that have an interest in the “Maker” culture
sharing tools and knowledge
working together on projects that are bigger than one person
reaching out into our community and showing people there is another option besides the “do as you’re told” consumer culture
teaching
learning
applied engineering
being social

For people who:

are Hackers, Makers, Crafters and Artists
“get” the Make Magazine idea
think their parents' 1950’s Popular Mechanics mags were awesome
prefer to take things apart and put them back together better
like to meddle with gizmos and blinkylights
consider themselves hackers in the MIT and Berkeley traditions
thought “Real Genius” was awesome
want to play with lasers
can’t afford / aren’t allowed a work space of their own
want to share what they know

This is by no means a complete list of what we hope to achieve, but it’s certainly a good start.

Think about how the history of Hamilton is intertwined in the “make it happen” ethos of the DIY mechanic, the basement engineer, the warranty violator, the patent ignorer.

Hamilton was once known as “The Ambitious City”.

Come and be ambitious with us.

Because it’s going to be a heck of a good time.
