a collective of hackers and technology enthusiasts in Minnesota

fighting for a kinder, more private, free world

a world where not everything in tech is sponsored

a world of makers

we hack on projects and inspire one another

we provide ethical tech services for ourselves and a variety of local organizations

we communicate via meatspace, matrix, mailing lists, signal, IRC, and mumble

if you have felt isolated by technology rather than embraced

please, join us. together we can close the world

and open the next
