About this Event

Every Thursday from 6:30 to 9:00 PM, Hackers Guild hosts Open Hack Night, our standing weekly event for people who enjoy pizza and building, exploring, understanding technology.

Open Hack Night is part social gathering, part open lab. There is no formal schedule, presentation, or curriculum. Instead, the space fills with people working on whatever they find interesting that week. You’ll see everything from embedded systems, circuit boards, and FPGAs to software projects, cybersecurity challenges, and experimental tools.

Some attendees come to make progress on a project. Others come to ask questions, trade ideas, or see what fellow members are working on. Many simply drop in to get a feel for the space and the community. All of these are welcome.

This event is open to members, prospective members, students, professionals, and anyone passionate about technology and hacking. If you are new to Hackers Guild PGH or considering joining, Open Hack Night is the best way to meet people, explore the space, and see how the community operates.

No RSVP is required. No membership is required. Bring your laptop, hardware, ideas, or just come hang out.
