What is "hacdc"

HacDC is a hackerspace in Washington, D.C. and a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. According to one member's description, "HacDC members improve the world by creatively rethinking technology. We break, build, and occasionally abuse technology in the pursuit of greater knowledge about how it works and re-purpose it to build new things." In March 2009, its activities were described by the Washington Post. In April 2011, its activities were also mentioned by FastCompany., and NPR's All Tech Considered.
