Solarpunk Automation Workshop and Watch Party
Turn old devices and low-power radios into the resilient digital nervous system of a solarpunk community. Build offline-first, solar-powered, low-energy, community-based tools.
What You'll Master
- Working Meshtastic mesh network (bring a friend or multiple nodes - mesh networking requires 2+ devices) - Local WiFi-hosted information hub - Solar-powered field node prototype - Resilience blueprint for scaling from garden to commune to neighborhood
**Note:** Building a mesh network requires multiple nodes. We recommend either bringing a friend to the workshop or purchasing 2+ Meshtastic devices.
