(Note: sponsorships are billed in US dollars.*)

Dim Sum Labs is Hong Kong’s first and only hackerspace.

We are one of the hundreds of hackerspaces around the world, where people with common interests in computers, technology, science, digital and electronic art, come together to meet, socialise and collaborate.

Due to Hong Kong’s demographics, policies, small living spaces and extremely high commercial rents, space of any kind is at a premium and many creative communities are struggling to find suitable places to “do their thing”.

Dim Sum Labs caters to the needs of the creatives, the rebels, the playful and different, hackers of all kinds, by providing a persistent, physically secure space for them, their tools, their projects and their work. We are a place where people with a creative bent can congregate with other like-minded individuals in an environment that seeks to understand their needs and enable them to express their urge in a productive way.

At Dim Sum Labs, everyone is welcome to come, gather and make, hack, build, share, collaborate, educate, encourage, grow and achieve.

Why are we raising funds

Dim Sum Labs is a physical space. We have been around for over 10 years thanks to the generous contributions from our members and supporters.

Like every other space on planet earth where people gather, our hackerspace has struggled to make ends meet during the pandemic. Our membership plummeted. Our income from organising events in the space dried up completely.

Thanks to the generosity of a small number of members, Dim Sum Labs managed to survive. It is amazing that we have managed to keep the space for more than ten years. It is an oasis for you, technologists, artists and friends to gather, make and show your projects. We don't want to lose it, and we need your help.

We have monthly operational costs of about HK$18000 (~US$2300). This covers our rent and utilities.

With 300 people chipping in HK$64 a month (approximate $8 USD / €7 EUR), we could comfortably keep the lights on.

Help keep Dim Sum Labs afloat during this challenging time!

Monthly donations of HK$700+ (HK$300+ for students) entitle you to a Dim Sum Labs membership. Members have 24x7 access to the space and all the tools and toys within. Use the space to work on your projects, use our machines (3D printers, metal working, electronics,...), or organise your own events.

*If you are in Hong Kong, your bank may impose a foreign transaction fee. You may wish to consider supporting us by FPS or bank transfer instead. Contact us for more information. Or come talk to us at Hackjam on Tuesday evenings!

**On the bright side, GitHub does not charge any fees for GitHub Sponsors payments. Thanks, GitHub!

@dimsumlabs

Our operational costs are approximately HK$18000 per month (a little over US$2300). It would be amazing if we could raise this amount from GitHub sponsorships alone!
