Founded by Jeremy Seitz and Helge Baurecker in 2021, the membership (around 25 people) is mostly made up of tech leaders and engineers. They meet once per year for an offsite event, where they learn and practice skills and then build something ambitious together. Everything is documented and published after the event (how-to guides, videos, plans and source code) for others to learn from and build upon.
In our first 3-day event 2022, we were focusing on clean energy and creative re-use of second-hand and recycled materials. The team learned and experimentedd with solar and wind generation, off-grid power storage and use, welding metal, repairing devices, and making art. The end result is a 4 meter tall tower, powered by clean energy, in an interactive and animated art piece built essentially from common parts and recycled things.
