TinkerSpace by TinkerHub.
People who are exploring new technologies need to have other makers around to feel safe to explore ideas, to keep their morals high, to ask for help and collaborate and build together. Such an environment will help the people to fearlessly work on their curiosity driven side projects which they often do just for having the “fun”. Many great technologies and startups we see today were emerged from these sort of fun side projects.
TinkerSpace is like a cool library (ചായക്കട or നാട്ടിലെ ക്ലബ്) for people who love technology. It's a place where you can meet other people who “enjoy” making new things, get help, and work on fun projects together. It's like a playground for new ideas and cool tech stuff! &

Hack-Fake
HackFake Hackathon is a 36-hour collaborative event where hackers from different stacks will come together to build a minimum viable tool to aid journalists in newsrooms sift through misinformation and researchers study the risks and improve upon the viability of these solutions. The tool will not be an absolute solution, and further human verification will be called for. This hackathon is not a competition. Together we plan and build as much as possible parts of the above projects in 36 hours.
