About The Transistor
The Transistor is a hackerspace in Provo, UT with a community of tinkerers, gamers, programmers, and general DIYers. We love all things OpenSource and DIY. Our primary goal at the Transistor is to be able to provide a space for members to work on and store projects, hang out, and have a generally good time.
We also like to see what other local hackers are up to which is why we host weekly Make:Provo meetings(Check the calendar page for up-to-date scheduling). Make:Provo is a (free) laid-back group for local hackers, makers, diy-ers, and any other -er’s that are interested. If you follow Make or Hackaday you will enjoy Make:Provo. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend whether they bring projects or not. We love seeing new people and hearing about the local hacker scene.
History
We began as HackSLC, a hackerspace in Murray, UT in October of 2009, sharing space in a huge warehouse. We originally tried for a sort of ‘small-scale TechShop’ style hackerspace with shared tools and limited storage split among many members. Unfortunately due to lack of members and being in a location much bigger than we needed, we were unable to sustain this plan. In December we found a new location closer to most of our founding members in Provo, UT and by January we had moved our copious amounts of electronics, tools and furniture to our new attic location. Now we’re constantly rearranging, adding tools and machinery, and improving the space, so it’s worth checking in from time to time if only to see what new feats we have accomplished.
