About us
Welcome to the Arduino Builders Social and Tech Hangout. This group is for anyone who enjoys tinkering with electronics, whether you are currently wrestling with a complex project or just getting started with your first microcontroller. We are a community of makers, hobbyists, and curious learners who believe that the best way to move forward with a build is by sharing ideas and troubleshooting together in a relaxed setting.
Our meetups are designed to be informal. There is no rigid curriculum or lecture series here; instead, we focus on open discussion, sharing what we are working on, and helping each other clear roadblocks. If you have a project you are stuck on, bring it along and see if someone else has a fresh perspective on your code or wiring. If you just want to talk shop, swap tips on parts, or find out what others in the local community are building, you will find plenty of friendly faces to chat with.
