The Vision
A new trans-centered hackerspace is coming to Phoenix for trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming people in the metro area. A community built through social activities, technical resources, and collaborative programming. Whether you want to hang out with friends over board games, learn new tech skills, work on projects, or connect with other queer folks, this space centers your safety and belonging while offering the tools and community to thrive.
What We're Building
A community space that combines safe social connection with professional-grade technical resources. These are the key pillars of our vision.
A Safe Physical Space

A Safe Physical Space
1,500-2,000 square feet designed for flexibility and comfort. Large communal tables for collaboration, a library wall with board games and resources, a cozy lounge with TV and gaming consoles, and gender-neutral bathrooms. A place where you can work on projects, play games, or simply exist in safety.
Professional-Grade Tech
