The Dublin Hackerspace
We are teaming up with Intel, Coder Dojo Girls and Coder Dojo DCU to bring about a special event for the International Day of the Girl on October 11. A day long hackathon style to give an introduction to the Galileo board. The participants will learn basics of coding an embedded environment and get hand an experience with hardware. The second half of the day will focus on creating electronic fashion wearable technology and funky robots.

TOG Duck is on migration this month to EMF Camp, a 3 day camping for those with an inquisitive mind or an interest in making things: hackers, artists, geeks, crafters, scientists, and engineers. TOG Duck transport costs are being supported by the event shiny fund. Check out some of the other shiny projects too. We are making a host of changes to our duck from its last outing at Dublin Maker. We are adding lights , quacks, position logging and remote control. If you can’t find us roaming the campsite we can be found at our village. Check out some photos of the build in the gallery.
We are delighted to be a supporting organisation of the upcoming Dublin Maker. Its the annual chance for all makers in Ireland to really showcase what they do best to the public. The tented festival space on the grounds of Trinity College Dublin, creates unique community feel to the whole thing. TOG will be there with a host of new projects and we looking forward to meeting you all.
In TOG at the moment the space is a buzz with activity in perpetration for the big day. We are opening our space for a whole week to give makers a chance to come down and use our space and resources to put the finishing touches to their projects. The public are welcome to drop down too and see all this madness.
The space will be open each night from Monday 21st – Friday 25th from 19.00 – 21.30
