Who We Are
Oxford Hackspace, or Oxhack for short, is an open-access community workspace and workshop which also runs a prototyping service for small businesses in central Oxford.
Open nearly every day from 10am to 10pm (see oxhack.org for hours), with prototyping technicians on site most days and a vibrant members community of technical, crafty, and educational people, we seek to make Oxford awesome by improving skills, opportunities, and quality of life one citizen at a time.
In 2015 we began a long-term sponsorship by The Oxford Trust, a charity established by Sir Martin and Lady Audrey Wood to support business creation and science education in Oxford.
Basically, we provide space and tools for people to do DIY manufacturing, get training in tool use, build things for work or pleasure, work quietly, meet and collaboarate with others, run and attend workshops in a vast array of subjects from cybersecurity to open-source architecture to shoemaking to light-painting, and more. We are a community who seeks to support makers and personal agency first and foremost, and we are friendly and have refreshments, so join us any time we are open to meet the group. ;)
