About us
TOG is a hackerspace based in Bluebell in Dublin. It is a shared space where members can have a place to be creative and work on their projects in an environment that is both inspiring and supportive of both new and old technologies. It is also a community of fellow minded hackers and makers with varied events for the public.
We have regular open events for visitors and these evenings are usually free to attend. They include lockpicking, coding, crafting, electronics, brewing, wikipedia editing and others. We hold a regular Open Social evening on about the 3rd Saturday of each month, when we just come in and hang out for the evening. We also collaborate on many external events like Repair Cafe and DublinMaker.
Come and visit. If you’ve never been in before, we’ll give you the grand tour of the space. Talk to members and visitors about projects or things you’d like to do. If you like what you see, ask about joining as a full member. Membership gives you 24/7 access to the space and all it's facilities, which includes 3D printers, laser cutter, workshop, classrooms with seating and projectors and a fully kitted out electronics lab. We also have eating and cooking facilities and off-street parking. There is also a great community spirit with ongoing community events.
To join us as a member, get to know us, then feel free to sign up for membership using our online form or ask for more information from any of our members.

TOG Turns 17: Birthday Open Social, Pizza, Cake, and a Bit of Craic
Tog Hackerspace, Kylemore Road, Dublin 12, D, IETOG is turning 17, and we’re marking it the best way we know how: by rolling our regular Open Social Night into a proper birthday session with pizza, cake, and plenty of chatting, tinkering, and general messing.
If you’ve been meaning to drop in for ages, this is a lovely one to start with. If you’re a regular, you already know the vibe: good people, interesting projects on benches, and the sort of conversations that start with “what’s that board?” and end up with someone soldering at 1am.
### When and where
- Date: Saturday 24th January
- Time: 7:00pm until late
- Location: TOG Hackerspace
The space stays open until the last member calls it a night, which often means we drift happily into the small hours of Sunday morning. Pop in for 10 minutes or stay for the whole stretch, you’re very welcome.
### What to expect
- Homemade pizza from the TOG pizza oven, rolling out through the evening
- Birthday cake (because we’re not animals)
- A relaxed open evening: tours, chats, and a look at whatever weird and wonderful builds are on the go
- Community craic: talk, tunes, and the usual “oh go on, I’ll show you how that works” energy
Our Open Social Nights are an easy, no-pressure way to see the space and meet the people. There’s no agenda and no expectation that you’re “good at” anything. Curiosity is the only requirement.
### Make a full day of it: Finish-a-thon earlier that day
This birthday party is happening the same day as our Finish-a-thon, running 11:00am to 7:00pm. So if you’ve got a project half-done, a box of parts staring at you, or a nagging “I really should finish that”, you can spend the day getting it wrapped up, then roll straight into the birthday celebrations at 7pm.
Have a look here for the Finish-a-thon details:

### What to bring
We’ll have food covered between pizza and cake, but feel free to bring along:
- A drink (or your beverage of choice)
- Snacks to share
- A project to show off, or something you want advice on
- A friend who’s curious about makerspaces
We’ve also got plenty of free parking, so it’s handy to swing by with gear, gadgets, or something for show-and-tell.
### Come celebrate 17 years of TOG
Seventeen years of TOG is a bit mad, in the best way. What started as a small group of people who wanted a place to build and learn has grown into a proper community workshop full of skills, tools, and good humour.
So come in, grab a slice of pizza, have a wander, meet the crew, and help us celebrate.
See you Saturday 24th January from 7pm.6 attendees
