The Pocket Lab is a community think tank and experimentation space located in Sandringham, Auckland. It is a space for creative folks to get productive, making smart use of local resources, and care for our neighbourhood and bioregion.
It is a place to design, build and test new ideas. Learn, teach and share. Whether it is just for lighthearted, fun tinkering or seriously fun venture kickoff.
The Concept and Guiding Principles
Any creative scientific, artistic or technological approach is welcome - no need to be a specialist to become a member.
Becoming a member
The venue hosts several areas :
- - an Outdoor Research space for microfarming, large weather-proof projects and frisbee;
- - a Fabrication Space for designing, crafting, prototyping, up-cycling and repairing. (There will be pens, paint and paper, computer and 3D printer, laser cutter, CNC milling machines, electronics, molding, casting and inevitably a wide range of power tools);
- - a Chill and Study Space away from the noise of the machines and loud workshop companions.
