Build guilds are Hack Club hardware meetups happening April 13th-19th in cities around the world. Organizers and attendees have a lot of freedom with what they want to run. Some will have workshops, some project demos, some just building and hanging out together.
Who?
Anyone from Hack Club can attend - no hardware experience needed. Organizers need an approved Blueprint project.
Where?
Community spaces, makerspaces, schools - organizers pick a safe, hardware-friendly venue in their city.
How?
Sign up below as an organizer or attendee. Enter your city and we'll match you to an existing guild or create a new one. Alternatively, you can select a guild on the map.
