And they refused to accept all of my emails, even though they were very important to me.

Didn't realize such a cool place existed!…read more Tucked away on the 2nd floor of a building on mission street, this place is hard to notice even if you walk by--it took me a while to find it even though I already looked up the address online. Inside, the place is filled with crazy gadgets and electronics. Mitch, the instructor for the soldering class, is crazy helpful, and the soldering class was actually really fun--I almost forgot how therapeutic soldering can be. Kind of like meditation. There was also another web design/programming class going on on the other side of the building. The class was full, and folks there seem to be enjoying themselves also. Overall, a pretty cool place to chill out and visit.

This review is for a summer camp, for younger kids. I was really disappointed given the high price…read morepoint for the camp (it was more expensive than any other camp we did this whole summer). It was supposed to start at 9:30am, but they sometimes took the kids back a whole 30 minutes late. Given again how much we're paying, this makes no sense. Also was super disappointed that they would play multiple movies each day in the background while the kids were working. It's not necessary at all, and some of the movies my son described weren't appropriate. We wouldn't do this camp again.

I only spent one night at Hacker Dojo but like all great flings, it was a little chaotic, totally…read moreunexpected, and weirdly inspiring. This place isn't "polished."

He has learned how to integrate both areas and explore the equipment at KCI with the support of student instructors. There is even a few things ie learned to create while waiting for him to complete his projects. They have a wide range of 3D printers, laser cutters, sewing, and vinyl printers. Advance imaging software is used. A nice coffee shop is available for studying or working while waiting for my son. They have been the only local maker space that I feel focuses on edu and growth of children esp women. I look forward to seeing more creative projects from the talented minds at KCI

I received a glass flameworking class as a surprise for Christmas, paid for, with the option for me to move it to a number of dates. I chose the March 8th date. It's been THREE MONTHS of multiple calls, voicemails, and emails per week to The Crucible. We have gotten ONE single response the entire time: something to the effect of "so sorry we dropped the ball - we'll get back to you," then.... nothing. None of our calls or emails or voicemails have been returned. The March class date has now passed, and not a single offer of a refund or a reschedule. We're doing a chargeback, which we really hate to do since it's so detrimental to the business, but... if it weren't for all these other reviews I'd wonder if this place even exists? Three full months of effort on our end and not a single useful human answer?Hoping this review plus the chargeback gets us some sort of resolution.
