Those minibadges aren’t going to assemble themselves……

Community Details and Information

Established in 2014, the Hardware Hacking Community is the place attendees can learn or practice their soldering and hardware modification skills.

Come assemble your badge, solder your minibadges, hack on a piece of hardware you found, and learn which end of the soldering iron is the hot bit (without having to do that the hard way.)

What We Provide

Tables, chairs, irons, solder, assorted consumables, first aid supplies, and volunteers who are genuinely eager to help you discover the world of hacking hardware.

What should I bring?

Devices you want to build/work on/otherwise alter
