Hacksburg

Hacksburg is a non-profit Makerspace located in Blacksburg, VA. Started in 2014, we're a community workshop focused on enabling creators and entrepreneurs in the New River Valley to complete projects that would otherwise be out of reach. Whether you need tools, mentorship, or just a space to work, Hacksburg is meant to be an accessible, collaborative, and affordable resource for building anything from rockets to robots to rocking chairs. 

In addition to providing access to resources to help create, Hacksburg teaches an assortment of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) classes to community members of all ages. Hacksburg’s classes and weekly open work nights are open to anyone in the community. 

Hacksburg offers classes such as building basic electric circuits, 3D printing, homebrewing, basic woodworking, introduction to gardening, and more. With support from people like you we plan to add new equipment so that we can offer additional classes such as using a CNC cutter, as well as reduce the cost of classes.
