Things You Don't Try at Home

CGW has the expertise, space, and safety equipment to perform those experiments that you don't want to try around the house. And if it's too crazy, we'll probably talk you out of it.

Things We Do Together

CGW works as a team to build projects and participate in competitions. We also challenge one another to improve our engineering skills, sometimes with spectacular results that we put on Youtube.

The Fun Stuff

No matter what they do, our members have a great time. We build, make, and hack because that is what we love to do.

Tools to Get Stuff Done

The CGW shop has tools that many people just don't have access to. If you need a hole in just the right spot, a cut at just the right angle, or even a computer that can talk to Arduinos, we can help.

Columbia, MO's Premiere Hackerspace

Columbia Gadget Works was established in 2010 and has been building projects and experience ever since. We've grown from a group that met on random weeknights in our member's homes into a full blown hackerspace. Our shop, located just north of downtown in a building managed by Creative Spaces LLC, is where our members now regularly meet and build.

We have members interested in woodworking, robotics, rapid prototyping, electronics, CNC machining, amateur radio, software development, sewing, model making, painting, and anything in between. If you need advice a project, you'll find someone to talk to here. Our shop has tools to help you in any area of your build, and our members are happy to share tips and tricks on how to use them.

Get Involved

There are many ways to get involved with Columbia Gadget Works:

Join the discussion on our Google Group or official Discord server.
See what we're up to lately on our Facebook, Twitter, or YouTube.
Find out about upcoming events on the Meetup page or on our Calendar.

The best place to learn more about our group is at one of our weekly Open Hack Nights. Every Thursday at 7:00pm, we open our doors to the public and try to get our weekly dose of social interaction. Members will work on projects, show off projects, ask questions, or just hang out with fellow makers and hackers. These are excellent opportunities for you to meet us, ask questions, and get a quick tour of our space.
