The primary focus of Arduino Bay is to teach innovation surrounding Arduino, and to facilitate networking.

TechShop is a membership-based workshop that provides members with access to tools and equipment, instruction, and a community of creative and supportive people so they can build the things they have always wanted to make. We'll be hosting a variety of informal groups to talk about and show off what they've been up to in all sorts of areas; Arduino, crafts, lasers, models, furniture, green tech..  whatever folks get up to at TechShop.  This Meetup Group is to let you, the Makers, know what's hap …

We all know the Bay Area has tons of software meetups, but where's the hardware love? We're bringing together anyone who interested in building a business in the world of physical products: from company boards to organic soap. The purpose of the group is to start to build the hardware startup community by: bringing people together, bringing in experts in the fields of hardware & form entrepreneurs who've done it before, and also to build a better picture of the hardware scene so we can all find …

The Next Generation Innovators are entrepreneurs, technologists, scientists, game developers, eco-sustainablists, social media gurus, mobile apps aficionados, digital mediaists, writers, thinkers, doers, creators... and more.   Do you have great ideas? Do you make them come to fruition? If so, you are a Next Generation Innovator.   Join us as we come together in regular events, meetups, social nights, and other opportunities. 

We are a "hackerspace", a colloquial term for a group of people who gather together in order to DIY technology and art, exchange knowledge, and pool together resources and tools. Members have access to 3d printers, laser cutters, CNC routers, woodworking tools, computers, etc.

People who believe that the best way to project the future is by creating it. Positively embrace globalization, miniaturization of technology, and dynamic visualization of the future, including, e.g., metrovillages, robotics, advanced personal transportation, education, and sustainability. Look up to seven generations into the future refining scaleable ways of making decisions in the near future.

Would like to get together with other hackers and engineers who are interested in the Raspberrypi Linux computer and are willing to help others.
