Build Guilds
The world's largest week of hardware meetups - coming to a city near you.
Join an existing guild or start one in your city - April 13th-26th.
Overview
Build guilds are Hack Club 1-day hardware meetups running from April 13th-26th in cities around the world!
Every guild is organized by a local Hack Clubber who picks the date, venue, theme, and activities for their guild. Hack Club funds $8 per signup.
Each guild will look different - some will have workshops, some project demos, some just building and hanging out together! Regardless, it'll be a fun day of celebrating hardware and meeting other Hack Clubbers in your city.
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.
