Intelligence is often perceived in today’s society as elitist and intimidating and because of this Geeks tend to be relegated to the cultural periphery. In a world where more people know the intimate details of Jon and Kate's relationship and Paris Hilton’s drinking habits than the names of the planets in our solar system, Geeks don’t have a lot of opportunity for social acceptance.

The internet has proven for decades that Geeks love social interaction. We just appreciate different things that society at large. The very early days of social networking were done by Geeks, back when the BBS systems and Newsgroups were the core of the internet the population was overwhelmingly Geeks. The popularity of sites such as Slashdot proves that we’re still there. Geeks built the internet, we’re not going away anytime soon.

But contrary to the opinion of many Geeks, there is a world outside of the computer. Stepping out into the Big Blue Room makes social interaction much more complicated. This is where membership in The Geek Group comes into play.
The Geek Group is a place where Geeks can congregate in real life. Within these walls the typical social structure of American culture simply doesn’t exist. It doesn’t matter what you wear, what you look like, or how much of a dork you are. Age, race, sexuality, religion, social caste, none of these things have any importance here. All that matters is your mind. The Geek Group provides the social freedom of the internet, combined with the ability to actually interact with real people in a brick and mortar environment.

Because Geeks tend to have limited social circles there is a great duplication of resources. It’s commonplace to have several electronics geeks living in relatively close proximity to one another. They all like to work on projects. They all require the same basic tools such as soldering irons, screwdrivers, and a workspace. But because they don’t know the others are out there and aren’t friends, there is no opportunity for them to share resources.

The Geek Group gives them a physical place to band together, pool their resources, and together accomplish more than any one of them can separately. We are a Force Multiplier for genius. In addition to that by providing large-scale tools than none of them could reasonably own on their own, like giant CNC equipment, robots, and millions of dollars in materials and parts we allow them to take their creativity to staggering new levels.
