A casual get-together for people who like making things with software and/or hardware ā or who are just curious about it. No experience required, no project required, no agenda. Show up and hang out. We usually go grab food and drinks once the energy winds down.
If you have something you're working on, bring it. If you just want to see what other people are up to and maybe get inspired, that's totally valid too. We've had complete beginners sit next to people writing programming languages from scratch, and everyone has a good time. It is highly encouraged that you bring a laptop!
