What we're about

We are Noisebridge. Noisebridge is a hackerspace for technical and creative projects, do-ocratically run by our members. We are a non-profit educational institution intended for public benefit. Come and visit our space, a 5,000+ square-foot area located in the heart of San Francisco. We teach, we learn, we share.

Noisebridge has MOVED to 272 Capp Street, directly behind the old space, still between 17th and 18th streets in San Francisco's Mission neighborhood! It’s all very exciting, and we need your support to pull it off! Join Noisebridge in building the largest non profit hacker community in San Francisco. Our biggest needs are recurring donations and volunteer hours to work on buildout, setting up the electronics room, wood shop, machine shop, and so on. You can donate at patreon.com/noisebridge, and visit the space at 272 Capp Street during our open hours and events, for a tour or to work on your own projects!

Learn domestic sewing machine basics, including how to set up the machine and operate. Expand beyond the basic domestic sewing machine with the industrial straight stitch, industrial serger, the walking-foot, the coverstitch, and more.

Our Sewing 101 classes usually have a waitlist, so if you are unable to attend we ask that you cancel so that someone else can come to the class. Please cancel even if it is last minute.

The fee for this class is $10, payable to our cash box, or by Venmo, Paypal, or Credit Card. See Donate to Noisebridge for more information.

Sewing 101 happens every second Friday. The other weeks of the month include machine embroidery 101, machine knitting 101, and special projects. Feel free to request a topic or project.

Laser Cutter Safety Training

Noisebridge

Learn how to be safe while using the laser cutter! We have a 150W, CO2 laser cutter with a 3 x 4 ft bed. This training is required to use the laser cutter because we don't want people setting our most expensive equipment donation on fire. You have to do this training even if you were trained at the old space, as we have different safety features now.

Training covers
* Dangers of the laser cutter
* How to be safe
* How to put out a fire

Each participant will cut a piece of cardboard on the laser cutter while following all the safety steps.

This is also a good place to ask questions about specific materials or projects. Almost everything at Noisebridge is pay-what-you-can. If you can comfortably do so, we ask that you donate $20 for this class: https://donate.noisebridge.net

Learn to Solder and Circuit Hacking Monday at Noisebridge

Noisebridge

Circuit Hacking Mondays is a weekly get-together to learn electronics and learn to solder cool stuff! You can easily learn all of the skills you need in one session. Come make a project tonight, and take it home with you!

We have soldering kits, Arduino microcontrollers, LEDs, and sensors available (we ask $10-$35 to cover materials; if you want to learn Arduino, bring a laptop with a USB-A port or adapter).

If you have your own project (advanced or simple), bring it by, and if you would like help, you can get it! If you have experience and enjoy working on your project with others come share what you know.

Noisebridge is SF's non-profit hackerspace run by volunteers and open to everyone. We need your help to stay alive! You can support us via cash box, Venmo, Paypal, or Credit Card.
