What is Freeside? We are a hacker space collective in Atlanta, Georgia.

           TechDrawl:

"...it’s a place where people passionate about science, technology, and digital projects can meet, collaborate and hang out. It can be an open community lab, a machine shop, a work shop, a studio or a combination of these where people can share resources and knowledge to build neat stuff."

           Creative Loafing:

"Foremost, hackerspaces allow the sharing of tools – everything from soldering guns and welding torches to complex cutting machines – and an exchange of knowledge. Workshops ranging from circuit bending to python coding to welding take place weekly."

How we're funded 
  • Basic expenses are covered by member dues.
