Hardware Hackfest

Hello Hackers! Inviting you to a hardware-themed weekend of hacking to showcase you skills and creativity in building innovative hardware solutions! We will be running a fun, activity-filled, open-themed digital hackathon. Feel free to hack on whatever you'd like (even software hacks) or make it shark-themed for the fun of it. These events are open to all skill levels, from beginners to the most veteran developers. Please build whatever you'd like and focus on having fun! If this is your first time with hardware and you are feeling like hacking on-theme, here's a [resource guide](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TBbW2m0cJfHAsU4ObxbmnyyzjFF08T9rTPdVZeNMSl4/edit?usp=sharing) for your team! We are hosting another hackathon this weekend which is NA/EU timezone friendly. Irrespective of where you are hacking from, we encourage you to checkout: [Bon Hackétit](https://organize.mlh.io/participants/events/9350-bon-hacketit).
