I’ve got an opportunity to build a hacker/maker space + drone lab in a journalism college. I’ve been asked to come up with requirements for the room. Square footage, furniture, gear, storage, you name it.
Does your university have a hacker space? What does it look like? Are there pictures of it online? Got a URL?
Here’s what I’m thinking, broadly. Not going to get all this, but you don’t get if you don’t ask:
Countertop space for working on drones or Arduino projects.
Locking storage for the same.
Couches? Long desks and chairs (like this)? Something different (like this)? Combinations? Need seating space for hacker/software projects.
Projector for screen sharing or demos.
Internet enabled TV on the wall.
Whiteboards. Whiteboards everywhere!
If possible, high ceilings and a netted cage for indoor multi-copter testing (example)
Here’s a Storify of tweets I got asking this question on Twitter.
What am I missing? What would you include?
