The SPŠSE Hackspace was created within the Erasmus+ programme (project name: 2022-1-CZ01-KA210-VET-000082444 Future Transport, Sustainable Transport, Electromobility, Education for the Future; support area: Erasmus+ Vocational Education and Training - Partnership for Cooperation) and it is the first hackspace in the South Bohemia Region.

Hackspace is, among other things:

a public workshop with various equipment used for the realization of own projects,
an inspiring space where people - both young and old - collaborate on interesting projects and share their interests,
a centre for learning and sharing experiences.

We are aware that people have a lot of interesting ideas in their heads, but often lack the equipment needed to implement them. Thanks to the hackspace, many interesting projects will be able to emerge, both in education and leisure activities. The aim of creating a hackspace is also to increase interest in technology in general.

The biggest "draw" of our workshop is the universal spindle lathe TOS S-28. Other equipment of the hackspace includes a TOS bench drill, a two-disc bench grinder, a band saw for metal, a Narex 230 and Narex 125 angle grinder, a hot air gun, an acoustic drill, a wide range of Tona Expert hand tools, a PC set-up together with a 3D printer, a soldering station with microsolder, a hot air soldering station, a laboratory digital power supply and a multimeter. The workshop also has compressed air, 400 V and 240 V distribution. The workshop equipment will be continuously updated with new machines and equipment. The workshop will not be equipped with consumables or production material (each applicant must provide his own material).
