Hackerspaces establishment grant application

Overview

We are supporting ‘hackerspaces’ – informal places where people meet to share their interest in technology, tinker with tools, work on individual or shared projects, and learn from one another – through the Queensland Hackerspaces Grant program.

The grants will fund new and existing hackerspaces and support the continued expansion of the state’s burgeoning advanced manufacturing sector. We are also encouraging industry to use hackerspaces to solve problems, source potential talent, and increase the involvement of community members, especially young people, in knowledge sharing and peer learning through participation in technological innovation.

Use this form to apply for a hackerspace establishment grant of $20,000 to establish a new hackerspace in Queensland.

If you already operate a hackerspace and wish to expand it, please apply for a hackerspace expansion grant.
