Was very inspired by a hacker space on a trip to Seattle. In Sacramento CA where we used to have an amazing enormous space "Hacker Lab". We still have one but it's more crafts oriented which is fine but trying to think about a more computer-oriented one for kids specifically. Thinking about overhauling our garage to be a space for my kid's / kid's friend's little nascent computer club and feeling it out from there. Just wondering if people have any wisdom / advice.

If it's a computer club for a small group of kids in a garage there's not much that needs to be thought out. This isn't like a hacker space where you need to learn how to run an actual org. I mean, how big can your garage get?

Yeah good call, I'm thinking it can really just be a club meetup space that can expand to workshops or whatever organically. We also have a huge annual open studios event down here in Sac that I think we could use as an opportunity to showcase stuff and invite people in.
