Hive76 will be moving the Open House start time from 7PM to 8PM starting next week (9/21/2016). The reason for the shift is to accommodate member meetings during the 7 o’clock hour, so be on the lookout for more awesome things™ at Hive76!!
See you at the next Open House!
As seen in this story published by Technical.ly/Philly written by Dustin Slaughter, Hive76 has teamed up to offer space and expertise to assist PhillyCam and specifically their radio arm, WPPM, get their equipment ready to go 
All are invited to participate at Hive76 this Saturday.
Well, I’ll tell you.
Sunday June 12th from 12 noon to 4pm we will be opening the space to WPPM.
They will be cleaning and testing their sound consoles to be used at their low power FM station debuting later this summer.
If you want to come down and help, or just watch, PLEASE do so. WPPM is a part of PhillyCam.
PhillyCam, WPPM, and Hive76 all welcome and provide access to anyone with an interest.
There may be more than one session. Stay posted here for further updates.
I will be running (with LOTS of help) the G.O.T.A (Get on the Air) station at the PhilMont Mobile Radio Club Field Day event at:
Fort Washington State Park in Fort Washington, PA.
Again, this event is open to all! Lots of RF stuff will be happening. If at all curious, please come out and check out the festivities. Amateur radio. Amateur radio digital modes. Satellite communication. FOOD. SDR radio. Mesh networking and more.
Hope to see you at these events. …. — .–. . / – — / … . . / -.– — ..- / .- – / – …. . … . / . …- . -. – …

It was just over six years ago that we had our last grand re-opening.
I’m pleased to say that Hive76 is about to re-open its door to the public once again, and in our new location! This time around, we thought we’d do things a little differently and decided to kick off our new space with a Grand Open House! If you haven’t been to a Hive76 open house before, why not make your first one a Grand one?!
When is this exciting event, you ask? Why, it’s tonight!! That’s right! Make your way to the Bok building at 9th & Mifflin (entrance on Dudley St.) this evening for all of your hackerspace needs! We’ll have plenty of our past projects on hand for you all to play with and our members will be hanging out for any & all of your questions, such as: “How do I become a member of this awesome organization?” We can’t wait to meet you!
When: Friday, January 29th, 7-11PM
Where: 1901 S. 9th St., Suite 106, Philadelphia, PA 19148 (entrance on Dudley St.)
How: RSVP here
Why? Because we like you
Hello readers!
As some of you know Hive76 has moved into the Bok School on 9th and Mifflin Street. For over 10 years I have lived and made work in South philly. With our maker space now located in the community, I want to make a small publication championing some of south philly’s awesome Makers and Artists.
Now I’m looking for people making cool stuff! So if you know any, or are one, pass on your information and I will try and include you!
Send your info to me at ChrisTerrell@Hive76.org
The long-awaited announcement is here. Hive76 has found a new hom
e in Philadelphia. After several weeks of searching and negotiating, we’ve managed to make a deal and sign a lease with our new home, Bok. We’re looking forward to moving in and announcing the first Open House in our new home. Look forward to new projects, new classes, and new events.
It’s a bit late, with all the building shut downs and nautical hackerspacing lately, but here they are, pictures I took with my face-backpack-thing at Maker Faire while wearing an orange spandex skin suit! We pulled together a heroic effort to fix it after everything was basically broken on arrival, so the mask now supports a new raspberry pi and fresh camera. Other than that it went great! I even had an extra battery to swap out as needed. See you all at the next Maker Faire (and other assorted local events!)!
Time for a long overdue update on the building situation. As many of our regular open house visitors have noticed, 915 Spring Garden, the building where Hive76 has set up shop since its inception in 2009, has been shut down due to code violations after a small fire in another artist’s studio. It is an ongoing issue with the city and owners of the building to resolve, but meanwhile we have no access to the building, our space, or our tools, so open house is postponed.
In the meantime, Hive76 members have been working on new projects in our garages and home workshops, and are going to public events to stay involved in the community, such as PumpCon this weekend. Stay tuned to our mailing list, along with our IRC Channel, #hive76 on irc.freenode.net, where we will make announcements of these events. We encourage everyone to reach out via e-mail and in person at any events we’re attending.
Hive76 is currently working with the realty company to find out when the building can re-open. We’re also investigating other options, such as moving Hive76 to a new location within Philadelphia. Either way, we’ll try to keep you informed about Philadelphia’s Premiere Hackerspace.
