About us

A hackerspace for Ipswich.

HSIpswich Inc is a small community of makers — in hardware and software — based in Ipswich, Queensland. Our goal is to promote the exploration and development of technology-based skills, by providing facilities, equipment and space for the community to use, alongside classes and workshops.

Space & facilities

A dedicated workshop in the heart of Ipswich — room to build, tinker and meet other makers.

Tools & equipment

Soldering stations, 3D printers, benches and shared gear — so you don't have to own it all yourself.

Classes & workshops

Community classes and hands-on workshops, including our intro to electronics course, run on demand.
