There is active open hacking with many chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer. For example, we have a large, active laser cutter that gives off fumes (with a fume extractor in use). It is overall best to attend online and ask beforehand if you are able about projects that may give off strong odors. On the bright side, we have GREAT ventilation and an outdoor hacking area on the front porch.
	* '''Chaos:''' Noisebridge can be a cluttered, extremely stimulating, chaotic environment. If you crave order and quiet spaces, you may need to help us work towards making that happen!

2169 Location Accessibility

@@ Line 120: / Line 120: @@
 When you are running an event or presentation at Noisebridge, provide reasonable notice and warning to allow others the opportunity to participate if they wish. With this — as anything else — each person has a responsibility to be considerate of the accessibility levels of others. Participation, projects, and events should strive to exist in a culture of equal access.
