Hello everybody! Sorry for the late post. We’re officially launching the T-shirt competition sponsored by moxie3innovations (@moxie3innovatio)

If you don’t know who or what we are, you may be unsure what kind of design you can make. We’re looking for something that demonstrates our personality.

We're a technology focused organization with a passion for making and inventing things. In essence, we're a bunch of geeks with a creative passion for technology. We would like to include this ideological 'maker' persona in the design. Something that can encapsulate our current logo or expand upon it with a maker/hacker style. Here's a Wikipedia article explaining what a Hackerspace to help you. Also, here's our About page so you can learn more about us.
