We are a community of tech enthusiasts, makers, and creators who come together to learn, tinker, and build new and exciting projects.
Haututu HackLab is a place where people of all skill levels and backgrounds can come to learn, collaborate, and work on their own or group projects. A community asset to provide a space for people to work on projects, access to tools and equipment, and a supportive whanau of tinkerers to help you along the way.
