Our Specialty<\/strong>: We are a hackerspace for learning and development. Our workshops range from programming languages to technical interview prep classes to Hackathons to robotics classes. Whether it is for a developer role or a technical role related to software development we are there to support the technical growth of our community. We provide access to electronics and laser cutting labs for prototyping. We also have socials to get people talking to one another in an informal setting. Our Funding<\/strong>: We fund our efforts through three avenues.<\/p>\n <\/p>","url":"https:\/\/givebutter.com\/growhackerdojo","creator_name":"Hacker Dojo","goal":30000,"raised":"8101.54","raised_percentage":27,"account_id":32371,"cover":{"url":"https:\/\/givebutter.s3.amazonaws.com\/media\/Y94ESddcmbf41TvozqDCm3FAOXz3y2UqLcFpYfeI.jpg","type":"image","source":"upload"},"page":null,"mode":null,"tab":null,"code":null,"member":null,"team":null,"user":null,"share_links":{"url":"https:\/\/givebutter.com\/growhackerdojo","facebook":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/givebutter.com\/growhackerdojo","twitter":"https:\/\/x.com\/intent\/post?url=https:\/\/givebutter.com\/growhackerdojo&text=Join me in raising money for Hacker Dojo! via @givebutter","linkedin":"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https:\/\/givebutter.com\/growhackerdojo","whatsapp":"https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?text=Join me in raising money for Hacker Dojo! https:\/\/givebutter.com\/growhackerdojo","email":"mailto:?subject=Please%20join%20me%20in%20raising%20money%20for%20Hacker%20Dojo&body=Hi there,%0D%0A%0D%0AI am raising money for Hacker%20Dojo.

Team Members Story
<\/p>\n
Our Dilemma: <\/strong>Like many organizations worldwide we had to close our doors during the pandemic. We were fortunate to have a healthy bank account and a few grants to keep us active online. Unfortunately, we lost about half of our members in the Bay Area. The most common reason individuals canceled their membership was they moved away. We are seeing steady membership growth but are in need of an additional $40K in funding to give us the time and bandwidth to attract more members at the current growth rate.<\/p>\n
Our Results: <\/strong>Since the beginning of 2022 we have grown our membership base from 32 to 130 student, standard, and hive members. Our target is 180 for sustainability at the Mountain View location, 220+ to enable us to begin expansion to a second site. There are 7+ events and workshops every week.<\/p>\n
