Call us at (617) 253-2060 any time to see if we’re open.
MITERS Mailing List: Click here
If you would like to subscribe to the mailing list and are an MIT affiliate with a kerberos name and password or web certificates, add yourself to the mit-ers list here.
If you are not an MIT person, send us an email and tell us a bit about yourself, how you heard about MITERS and what involvement you would like to have. MITERS is an MIT student club, but we do enjoy the company of others! We do not necessarily consider ourselves a public hackerspace, but we are always happy to chat and hack with anyone and everyone.
Be forewarned that it’s a decently high-traffic list and often populated with links to amazing and time-sucking parts of the internet.
Physical Mail: 265 Massachusetts Ave, Room N52-115, Cambridge, MA
MITERS Hours of Operation:
MITERS has no specific hours of operation. A large group of us are what we call keyholders and we hold hours. We inform others of our keyholding primarily through our mailing list (add yourself as a subscriber here) or through Twitter. We are open more often than not, especially during the summer – call us since we often forget to officially keyhold.
Build parties are Fridays at 7 pm (running until past midnight), that’s an excellent time to drop in and say hi!
Physical Directions:
MITERS is located in room 115 of MIT’s N52 building in Cambridge, MA, U.S.A. This is right behind the MIT Museum.

Is MITERS open to people not directly associated with MIT?
Can I bring my elementary school or middle school child?
Sure! Just keep in mind that we are a shop, not a museum. We do get a fair share of people coming in looking to be given a tour of all the amazing things that are made there, and while there certainly are some amazing things, we’re a small space, so a lot of what you’ll see is materials, parts and tools.
How do not get in lesson one: like me, live in a country without lot of hackerpsace (france
) good luck for your lab!
so y have a question about it in usa: the lab is only by students for studens, or teachers help you to make it up? i see lot of expensive tools
Nope, it’s for and by the students. Personally, I am a staff member (I write software for an unrelated department) but I am here to help it not as an overseer, but as a peer. I would say that 90% of what we have was either pulled out of the trash and restored or given to us by kind people. The rest is paid for by our proceeds from helping to run Swapfest.
I wish I went to MIT. MITERS looks like a great hackerspace.
I live in Beverly, a town about a half an hour north of Boston and am a student at a highschool nearby. Is there membership exptended to those who do not go to MIT, or is open to anyone interested in the area? I also assume that there is a membership, is it by month?
Twitter! We Want Twitter!
Do you take donations of old tech stuff – computers, CRT Monitors, cables, hard disks, etc?
