Mindful Makers Hack #2 (Screenless Tech, Deployment)

​​🧘‍♀️ Mindful Makers: Mindfulness Hack #2

​​Join us on DECEMBER 6th for Mindful Makers Mindfulness Hack #2. In this single-day hack, we will be building and deploying technology that brings us back to the present moment in our daily lives via Screenless Tech using Raspberry Pi, Arduino, or any hardware you want to try. Bring your best mindfulness ideas!

​In this optional theme for the hack, we'll focus on the question: How can we “unplug from screens” in our daily lives?

​Come deploy an existing EEG meditation project from last hack, or start a new idea using touch or voice screenless interaction technology with Raspberry Pi or Arduino, or just come and hack with us on a different mindfulness idea.

​Together, we will be sharing and meditating, then attempting to make meaningful progress towards:

​📵 Minimizing blue light and screen addiction through hardware-based alternatives to common tasks

​🔌 Allowing existing mindfulness based hacks to become self sustaining through deployment and/or Stripe monetization

​🧠 Continuing work on previous EEG projects with support to deploy end to end

​​🌐 See: mindfulmakers.xyz for more details.

​​We’ll spend the day designing and building apps, websites, and tools that promote mindfulness in everyday life. Our belief is simple: technology can deepen presence, connection, and well-being.
To test our creations, we’ll use them ourselves in the days that follow — and see if they truly cultivate ease, warmth, spaciousness, generosity, and connection.

​​💡 Who Should Join

• ​​Meditators: Some experience with meditation is encouraged (occasional dabblers are welcome!).

• ​​Non-coders welcome: You don’t need to be a programmer — we’ll keep a balanced ratio of coders to non-coders (~1:1) so everyone can contribute meaningfully.
