A place to call home

Hackerspace Gent (0x20) is a hackerspace in the wonderful city of Ghent, Belgium. It is a physical space run by a group of people dedicated to various aspects of constructive & creative tinkering.

Don't worry, we won't break into your computer. The hacker subculture consists of, but is not limited to: computing, networking, programming, music, gaming, electronics, lock picking, woodworking, robotics, science fiction... However, the defining characteristic of a hacker is not the activities performed themselves, but the manner in which it is done. A hacker is someone who invents, constructs, learns, shares, trains basic skills and is willing to think outside the box to find a creative solution to a problem.

Note: While we are always aiming to be constructive, there is a group of people who loudly call themselves hackers, but have a different motivation. Unfortunately, some media have been using the word ‘hacker’ to describe people we do not necessarily agree with.
