Createch meet up
Want support with creative technology? Whether you are working on an existing project, starting something new or simply wanting to meet other creative people, come to our next Createch meet up!

Unlike a workshop, Createch meet ups are a space for discussion, collaboration and investigation. Feel free to bring your ongoing project, experiment, idea, question, or problem to discuss with others at the event. Get valuable advice or help, or share knowledge with others.
As part of our Hack programme, Createch meet ups offer the opportunity to:
Socialise in an open and relaxed environment
generate ideas
test projects
troubleshoot
discover affordable and sustainable tools
exchange knowledge.
Electric Medway team will bring along technology, tools and examples from past projects to explore together. If you've ever wondered how our projects are made, wanted to try a particular piece of kit, or are looking for inspiration for your next creative tech project, this is a chance to ask questions, get hands-on, and chat with others who share your interests.
Createch meet ups in 2026 are being delivered in partnership with Sun Pier House, providing free space as part of their monthly Gallery Lates programme.
