We are Hardware Enthusiasts, and we will show you how to be one too.

The Hardware Hacking Community is back with the name you’ve known us by for years!  The HHC is “The Place” to come to solder, repair, learn, and destroy electronic-based hardware.

A place for attendees to come solder their mini badges and any other soldering projects that come up during the conference.

Everything you need to know…

What we will do:

We will provide: tables, chairs, soldering irons, solder, wick, solder vacuum pump, tweezers, clippers, burnt cords, and of course burnt fingers. No burnt tables though.

Additionally, the Hardware Hacking Community will host a “How to solder” class with a specific small soldering project.  Please see the schedule for more information.

What should I bring?
