Opening party and intro workshop for new Hardware space

*Please RSVP to this event on Luma at: https://luma.com/7jzxgbx4?tk=EIlzEp

Hi all! I met the cool founders of a new hard-tech work lab up the street on Venables Street at Clark Drive. Since many of us are makers or interested in hard-tech, this series of events they are hosting will be of great interest. Below is the event description and links so you can learn more about the space and events. See you all then!
Note the doors open at 5:30PM and the workshop starts at 6PM.

Event info:
The gap between a great idea and a real product? Knowing how to build it. Come learn the full hardware design process, from schematic to layout, led by an electrical engineer from Microsoft.
​As a bonus, you’ll get a chance to design your own smart business card! One that taps to any phone and instantly shares your contact info. No app needed.
​Stay after for drinks and connect with Vancouver’s hardware and maker community.
