</div>I'm no good with slides (even pdf/jpg -- you should see the dull fliers I<br>
make!) but here are some of the ways I've explained hackerspaces:<br>
<br>
A hackerspace is like a gym, but with soldering irons instead of<br>
treadmills.<br>
<br>
A hackerspace is like a 2600 meeting, with its own real estate. (Of<br>
course, your audience won't get this. Sucks to be them!)<br>
<br>
A hackerspace is a place where every single person here would find<br>
something cool to do, build, take apart, learn, teach, or watch.<br>
<br>
A hackerspace is part lounge, part garage, part lab, all member-driven.<br>
<br>
A hackerspace is a kitchen for tech ideas. Full of tools and ingredients,<br>
just waiting for you to cook up something interesting.<br>
<br>
In one evening at our hackerspace, you're likely to overhear words like<br>
the following: Blinky. Zener. Bridgeport. Waveguide. Hot-melt. Pressure<br>
regulator. Megahertz. Radioisotope. Gobo. Polyfuse. Refrigerant. Laser.<br>
Solenoid. Duct tape. Checksum. Electroluminescent. Mosfet. Beer.<br>
<br>
Hope that helps,<br>
