**HacDC Frequently Asked Questions** **What is HacDC?** HacDC is a group of engineers, makers, artisans, crafters, tinkerers, technologists, and programmers that have collaborated to create a non-profit organization and space dedicated to technical, artistic and social collaboration. **Why does HacDC exist?** We believe that there should exist a HackerSpace that provides a physical location to build upon a sense of community that supports technical, artistic and social collaboration. **Why should I care?** If you're made it this far, and you're reading this question, you're smart enough to know that the creative and innovative process is not always spontaneous and in fact you realize that a certain level of creativity and innovation requires a community of peers.
