Hardware Happy Hour (3H) is a meetup for engineers, electronics hobbyists, and hardware hackers that takes place in many cities around the world.
With COVID-19 restrictions on in-person events, 3H organizers have setup a Discord server where we can continue to have virtual 3H meetups!
If you are near Berlin next Thursday, February 20th, then check out this social gathering of electronics enthusiasts:
Hardware Happy Hour (3H) Berlin
We will be returning to the Lovelite bar this time.
Please bring your latest project with you! Anything you’re working on, electrical, mechanical or software works! We want to see the stuff that you’re interested in!
Lovelite will open at 6pm and we will officially start at 7pm.

I will happen to be back in Chicago during the next Hardware Happy Hour on January 23rd, and I am looking forward to seeing all the projects people are working!
Some people will be in town for ORD camp so the January Meetup of Hardware Happy Hour Chicago will be on a Thursday this time to allow for people visiting to attend. As always bring projects, hack, and apparently giant LED signs.

Bring all of your holiday gadgets and gizmos! Did you build a blinky Christmas tree ornament? Did you get a new scope from Santa? Did you take apart some toys? Bring it all to the meetup!
We’re trying out a new location for the new year! Come have a pint, show off your latest project and get to know your fellow Chicago tinkerers.
