Every year in Portland, Oregon, hackers, artists, and enthusiasts come together at the request of Crowd Supply, an open source crowdfunding platform. This year’s event is especially exciting for me because a) I’m there, and b) I’m handing the reins over to a friend. Helen LeeThis means everyone is sure to have a great time.
So tear downSimply put, it’s a three-day event focused on hardware hacking, discovery, and sharing. This will be achieved through a combination of talks, workshops, installations, demos, and space and time for hacking. Everyone is welcome to attend, from artists to engineers, designers to educators.
Personally, I am thrilled with the great lineup of attendees. schedule It reveals a wealth of great makers and great topics, including my friends Chipperdoodle‘ Anwaar Faceplate WorkshopTalk about My hero Carrie Sandra uses 3D printed parts in productiona chance to experience it for yourself Kevin Santo Cappuccio’s Jumperless Breadboardand Developer Kevin Bates tells the story of “the creation, design, manufacture, sale, and ultimately profit from Arduboy”.And that’s only day one!!
Helen and I also did a livestream of the event recently, which you can check out here if you want to get a feel for it.
(No pun intended, but as you can see, Helen is super excited about the food, so I’m excited too!)
