What we’re about
We're a group of engineers who build hobby and professional projects. All skill levels and disciplines are welcome, from software to hardware to the theoretical and practical. Many attendees are extremely creative across a variety of fields.
We'll explore multiple meetup formats including:
- Network. Make new friends and potential collaborators. Discuss ideas or the latest trends.
- Cowork. Work on your own project with friends. Bring your laptop or whatever you need, and hack away on your project. At the end you can share what you did with the others.
- Collaborate. Want to work on a project with with others? The collaborate meetup is for those who want to join a small team and build together.
Most frequently we meet at the coffee shop or bar. Occasionally we'll announce offsites from our sponsors or other meetup groups.
Guiding Principles
Be excellent to each other is the guiding principle of our friends and neighbor Noisebridge, so ours is simply Be Excellent (in everything).
