# Hacking on hardware…? Hardware Happy Hour may be your happy place

In a town that’s known for hardware with companies like Intel and Tektronix, I’m always surprised that we don’t have more startup activity around those kind of pursuits. But there are amazing pockets of activity, here and there. And one of those amazing pockets is the [Hardware Happy Hour](https://www.meetup.com/hardware-happy-hour-3h-portland/events/302413317/) gathering.

> At Hardware Happy Hour Portland we welcome anyone interested in any kind of hardware from beginner to expert: Arduino DIYers, engineers, hardware start up founders, e-textile experimenters, LED-curious folks, 3D printing enthusiasts or robotics geeks.
> 
> If you’re working on something even vaguely related please do bring it along. No presentations, no pitch decks, just projects and conversation. Join us and nerd out about electronics!

The next event will take place at Bye & Bye on Alberta, Tuesday, July 30, 2024, starting at 6:30PM. It is free to attend but RSVPs are appreciated.
