HGF Projects
Project Alexandria
Alexandria is an ambitious project; the future headquarters of the HGF, that is also an educational center, a STEM school, a library, and a research laboratory. It is a repository of knowledge where people can go to teach and to learn. It is a place of discovery, where knowledge and education can be put to use unraveling the secrets of the universe.
Unfortunately, it doesn't exist.... yet, but with the help of direct donations, our Patreons, and some hard work, it can be a reality, and become a center of learning and knowledge that is sorely needed. Your modest contribution, combined with others can move mountains, so contribute anything you can. It is greatly appreciated.
This is a very ambitious project and will require a lot of funding, but we do not, and never will take advertiser money, nor any money with corporate strings attached. This ensures the largest portion of our budget goes to projects like this one and not into the pockets of middlemen or added to corporate profits. It also means that every donation dollar is valuable and very much needed for this project.
International Information Exchange
There needs to be information in order to make good decisions, or to form good opinions. There is no substitute for accurate information, or at least a variety of points of view. To that end, the Information Exchange aims to provide information to and get information from channels that are not the norm. Big media companies have their own agenda's, either because they have a narrative they are actively pushing or because they have financial concerns at odds with their desire to provide accurate information. I want this network to be free of such concerns, soliciting information from as close to the source of events as possible.
Gaming Corner
Everyone needs to relax sometimes and play, but in this corner even games can be educational. Here you will find science and engineering themed games. Some we critique. Some we host, so that you can join us in game. There are currently two games that the HGF actively promotes and plays in. We are not affiliated with any of the development teams on these games and we receive no money from the companies in question. They are simply well crafted games that have a science or engineering bent to them and can be a used for structured creativity as well as fun.
Space Engineers - Fragments of an Empire
Space Engineers is a space survival game from 2013. It is noteworthy for it's block style ship and base construction and the dynamic way creations can be built, owing to the "more than one way to skin a cat" sandbox nature. The above link will take you to the server page in Facebook explaining the server and rules for joining.
Kerbal Space Program 2 - Drake Enterprises
Kerbal Space Program 2 and it's predecessor, Kerbal Space Program is a rare game that combines real-world orbital mechanics and space nagivation with ridiculous green astronauts that you can abuse and murder for your enjoyment. The above link will take you to the KSP 2 page on Facebook that will give you a rundown of the current game being played in KSP 2. As of this writing, the multi-player feature on KSP 2 has not been implemented, so there is no server for the game, but when multi-play is released, there will be.
