We’re back again this year to celebrate Arduino Day and all types of DIY electronics projects.

We’re partnering up with our friends at the London Arduino to bring you a great weekend of events.

Weekend? But it’s called Arduino Day? Yes, we’ve decided to continue the Arduino goodness over into Sunday too.

So: join us for an amazing couple of days with workshops, talks and demos around DIY electronics, Internet of things.

Saturday will be out main ‘show and tell’ day with a few short workshop activities. Sunday will be handed over to longer workshops and a hardware jam. Details are below.
