Columbia Gadget Works

Columbia Gadget Works is a group where people with common interests, usually in computers, technology, or digital or electronic art can meet, socialize and collaborate. They are a group of makers, DIYers, crafters, hackers, builders, circuit benders, garage inventors, living room tinkerers, and basement scientists who like to explore the intersections between science and technology, art and craft.

Located just off the Business Loop at 1404 Grand Ave., Columbia Gadget Works is a hakerspace open to everyone and made for folks who like to learn and collaborate on projects.
