We prefer PayPal subscriptions. You can set up a subscription below. Paypal payments makes our accounting process simpler, we do understand some people have issues with PayPal — if you need to use something different, please contact a charter member. Thank you for your support!
Pay in advance
Some people prefer to just pay in advance, we don’t mind that! Just drop us a line if you wish to pay in advance.
Ok I’m paid up, what now ?
Well hopefully you’ve met some of the regular members at this time. If you haven’t, please join our mailing list and introduce yourself. If you are planning on visiting the facility for the first time, please make sure you ask for a charter member to show you around. You are also required to review our policies (Hollaback Pledge and Harassment Policy) and we have a few forms for you to fill out — don’t worry it will only take a few minutes.
Can I bring a friend or family member with me?
Yes, you may absolutely bring a friend or helper to our Space to show them around or assist you with a project!
With that in mind, please remember that Baltimore Hackerspace contains tools, materials, and equipment that may be hazardous to attendees. You should only bring guests if they conduct themselves safely and respectfully around other people, other projects, and around dangerous tools. You are responsible for the safety and well-being of any guests you bring, and their conduct/cleanliness will have consequences on your relationship with Baltimore Hackerspace as if it were your own. If any of your guests are minors, they must be under your immediate supervision the entire time you are at the space. Actions otherwise will be interpreted as endangerment of minors and will result in your immediate ban from our premises and termination of any applicable membership.
…Actually I would like to hang out first before I sign up
Sure! Check our event schedule or our meetup page for the next open hack night. If you can’t make any of those nights, please contact us and we’ll see if we can make some arrangements to show you around.
