-A Hackerspace or Hackspace (also referred to as a hacklab, fablab, makerspace or creative space) is a location where people with common interests, usually in computers, technology and/or digital/electronic art can meet, socialize and collaborate. A Hackerspace can be viewed as an open-community lab, incorporating elements of machine shops, workshops and/or studios where hackers can share resources and interdisciplinary knowledge, to learn, teach, build and make innovative things together.+A Hackerspace or Hackspace (also referred to as a hacklab, fablab, makerspace or creative space) is a location where people with common/intersecting interests, usually in computers, technology and/or digital/electronic art can meet, socialize, exchange experience and collaborate.

 Although the number of [[http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/|Hackerspaces]] grows constantly all over the globe, there are still many white spots on the map. The Apollo-NG Project aims to fill this gap, by deploying a semi-temporary Hackbase/Hacker-Camp in areas, where no resident  Hackerspace is established yet, giving local hackers & nerds the opportunity to socialize, collaborate and tools to work on projects.  Although the number of [[http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/|Hackerspaces]] grows constantly all over the globe, there are still many white spots on the map.

-Since Apollo-NG itself can only offer a limited amount of space and basic requirements of a Hacklab (tools/machines), its primary purpose is to offer inspiration, encouragement and guidance on how to establish and operate a new resident local Hackerspace. +Since Apollo-NG itself can only offer a limited amount of space and basic requirements of a Hacklab (tools/machines), its primary purpose is to offer inspiration, encouragement and guidance on how to establish and operate a new resident local Hackerspace, by making it easily accessible, through a real live, small scale experience and lots of fun, using tools people may never even have heard of before.

-For the first time, in the history of humankind, the invention of the internet has enabled us as people to educate ourselves and to communicate, interact and share knowledge amongst each other in near real-time. Those of us, who have internet access and truly want to learn and evolve, can do so now, no matter where we are, what color our skin has, in which country we were born or whether our parents were rich or not. +For the first time, in the history of mankind, the invention of the internet has enabled us as people to educate each other ourselves and to communicate, interact and share knowledge with each other in near real-time, globally.
