We host several regular events and may host one-off workshops, classes, meetups and other community events. Check them out on our Events Calendar.
Please inquire on #help if you'd like to host an event, game night or meetup.
Saturdays noon to 5PM, open to the public; you do not have to be a member to attend. This is a great time to drop in, check out the space, get a tour, meet some folks or get some help on a project.
Work Party is run by volunteers at the space, so if you visit please be aware that sometimes there are often more guests than hosts; sometimes all the hosts may be giving tours or answering questions. Please feel free to introduce yourself and “ask for Jack”.
Work Party may occasionally be cancelled due to illness or real world events. You can check on its status at the CTRL-H PDX Hackerspace Event Calendar on MeetUp
