We are the FAMiLab, a North-Orlando Hackerspace.

We are a group of people, 'hackers', who enjoy playing with technology. Separately, we want a place to hang out (besides mom's basement) where we are free to toy with these things, and not worry about unfounded fears the media propagates about hacking. Together, we can afford a really cool space with otherwise unobtainable equipment, and share ideas, creations, and stuff.

Contact us to come in for a visit. For information on becoming a member, go here.
