Ctrl + Alt + Clean: A Community Cleanup Event

Hacker Dojo thrives because of its community, and now it’s time to give back—to our space! Control + Alt + Clean is a hands-on event where we come together to declutter, organize, and refresh the Dojo.

What We’ll Be Doing:
- Deep Cleaning – Wiping down surfaces, vacuuming, and tidying up shared areas.
- Decluttering – Identifying and removing unused or broken items.
- Organizing – Reclaiming space for a more functional and welcoming environment.

This is a great opportunity to contribute, connect, and take pride in our shared space.

Let’s work together to make the Dojo cleaner, more efficient, and a better place for everyone.
