¶ Origin
K-Space has it's roots in Robotics Club of Estonian IT College and was founded by it's alumni who are also active in the hackerspace. A lot of work, sweat and maybe some tears has gone into renovating the place. One could say, it's finished, but there's still a lengthy to-do list waiting for eager hands.
¶ Name Etymology
- Koodur OÜ hackerspace - the hackerspace of Koodur OÜ (Company of Lauri), the nonsense name Lauri came for Laphack
- K-Space is another name for spatial frequency domain, so going into k-space would mean applying Fourier transform.
- K-Space could be shortened version of kernelspace.
- Tehnopol Küberneetika maja hackerspace - the hackerspace of Tehnopol house of cybernetics.
- <add your nonsense explaination here>
¶ Approximate Origin Date
As with all great things, the exact date is unknown.
- Eesti IT Kolledži Robootikaklubi MTÜ (Estonian IT College Robotics Club) was registered 22.02.2016.
- Keys to the place were received 02.10.2017.
- K-Slack was created 29.11.2017.
- K-Space MTÜ name took effect 15.12.2017.

¶ What is K-space?
Self-funded shared project space or a club that offers various facilities for various projects. For example and not limited to:
- wood workshop
- CNC
- lasercutter (we are ever grateful to be given access to it)
- space for soldering and other electronics projects
- our very own server room
- immense combined knowledge regarding tech
- brewery
- 3D printer
- antique and vintage computer museum
- coworking space
- friendly atmosphere
¶ What are the benefits?
24/7 access to the aforementioned facilities (might depend on membership tier). Also possibility to learn new things.
¶ Why?
TL;DR: For kicks and giggles.
To have a space where to meet with people who share similar interest, learn new things, unwind. A constructive hobby space for adults
