Adafruit Hackerspace passport

There are hundreds of hackerspaces around the world teaching, sharing, and becoming valuable parts of their local communities. As makers travel from place to place, a popular activity is visiting a local hackerspace to get your very own hackerspace passport stamped!

Adafruit is pleased to have these in stock now! We spent a long time testing different materials and embossing to make these Hackerspace passports something you'll have for a lifetime. These are high-quality and durable passports with beautiful silver embossing, much like traditional passports but for hackerspaces!

Here's how Mitch Altman, who came up with the Hackerspace Passport, describes them: Created to promote visiting as many hackerspaces around the world as possible, they enhance collaboration and increase cross-pollination so we can all learn from one another while encouraging all hackerspaces to support each other. And it's fun!

These Hackerspace Passports look a lot like US Passports, but no fingerprints needed! Rather than a requirement for crossing borders, they're meant to encourage it. Hackerspaces and hacker conventions worldwide have designed their own stamps so people can get their Hackerspace Passport stamped everywhere they visit.

Mitch Altman and Matthew Borgatti released the first 2600 of these at Chaos Communication Camp 2011, a fitting choice since the previous camp in 2007 was the birthplace of the new wave of hackerspaces.

Specifications: Size: 3.5" x 5". We'll offer tutorials soon on how to create your own stamp, workshops for RFID-ing your hackerspace passports, and more! The Hackerspace Passport is released under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.
