The organization's mission is to be a community workshop where women and nonbinary people can work on projects in a comfortable, welcoming environment.[1][2]
Members hold public and members-only events for activities and workshops like zine making, paper circuits and electronics, coding, sewing, 3-dimensional printing, lightning talks, print making and many others.[3] Key-carrying members are allowed to invite guests of any gender.
