What we’re about
We are Noisebridge. Noisebridge is a hackerspace for technical and creative projects, do-ocratically run by our members. We are a non-profit educational institution intended for public benefit. Come and visit our space, a 5,000+ square-foot area located in the heart of San Francisco. We teach, we learn, we share.
Noisebridge has MOVED to 272 Capp Street, directly behind the old space, still between 17th and 18th streets in San Francisco's Mission neighborhood! It’s all very exciting, and we need your support to pull it off! Join Noisebridge in building the largest non profit hacker community in San Francisco. Our biggest needs are recurring donations and volunteer hours to work on buildout, setting up the electronics room, wood shop, machine shop, and so on. You can donate at patreon.com/noisebridge, and visit the space at 272 Capp Street during our open hours and events, for a tour or to work on your own projects!

See all- Spacebridge: Let's send something to (near) space!Noisebridge, San Francisco, CA
Space is awesome but why should NASA Ames get all the fun? San Francisco deserves another space program. To this end Noisebridge is stepping up to challenge and reviving the Spacebridge program!!
As a starter project we're planning on sending up a high altitude balloon with some avionics, a camera, and possibly something that let's us claim a "first X in the stratosphere" record.
This will be a cross-disciplinary project-based learning experience involving: electronics, software, radio operation, fabrics, treasure hunting (downed weather balloons are considered salvage), and more!
All are welcome - from fledgling space enthusiasts to seasoned astronauts!
For our first meetup we'll aim to:
- discuss potential projects scope
- go over the steps needed to send something up to (near) space
- set up a ground station to track and read telemetry off weather balloons (which are sent up twice a day from Oakland airport).
