Hardware Hacking
Hardware Hacking Fridays occur every Friday starting at 7PM at Unallocated Space
We encourage you to bring whatever project you want to work on. If you don't have one, show up with a willingness to learn!
If you don't have your own project, we'll have a project ready to go that's suitable for all levels of experience.
Even if you can't tell the difference between a resistor and a capacitor, or have never picked up a soldering iron, we'll teach you everything you need to know to take home a cool hardware hacking project and get you excited about making more!
Current Emphasis
Building the Loft Armor! Get some rework practice clearing our large collection of obsolete motherboards and help us build a wrap-around loft armor!
Obsolete motherboard donations for the armor are greatly appreciated!
