New Jersey's
First Hackerspace

Fair Use Building and Research (FUBAR) Labs is New Jersey's first hackerspace, established in 2009 and now located in North Brunswick. We're a 501(c)(3) nonprofit run by dedicated volunteers, bringing together makers, hackers, and tinkerers to collaborate and share ideas. We offer classes, workshops, study groups, and collaborative projects across electronics, software, robotics, woodworking, and more.
