About
What is Pumping Station One?
Pumping Station One is a hackerspace located in Chicago. Its mission is to foster a collaborative environment wherein people can explore and create intersections between technology, science, art, and culture.
What are we?
We are a collaborative environment for people to explore the intersections between technology, art and culture. We are a hacker space similar to others such as the Cowtown Computer Congress, NYC Resistor, NoiseBridge, HACDC, and other groups around the country.
We also fulfill our role as a community resource by hosting classes on electronics, programming, crafts, and any other skills that members (or guests) are willing to share.
Where are we?
Since April 2009, we have occupied a portion of 3354 N. Elston.
