​Bring what you're building

​Cascadia Builders Club is a Pacific Northwest community for people building hardware and software. This is show-and-tell for builders: In this meetup, a handful of local builders take the floor for short, hands-on demos of what they're actually making (startups, apps, hardware, side projects, tools), and then we hang out and meet the people behind the work. No pitch, no hype reels, just real things and the people making them.

​Come see what's being built around the north bank of the Columbia, ask questions, and find your people.

​Want to demo?
We're looking for builders to show what they're working on, hardware or software, shipped or half-built. Demos run about 10-15 minutes.

​Support Oregon’s Next Generation of Innovators

​Oregon Robotics Tournament & Outreach Program (ORTOP) brings hands-on FIRST robotics and STEM experiences to thousands of students across Oregon. These programs help students build technical, teamwork, and problem-solving skills while introducing them to education and career pathways in Oregon’s growing industries. We invite the tech community to partner with us in developing local talent and helping young people see a future for themselves here in Oregon.

​ORTOP board member Aaryn Curl will share a quick look at the current FIRST robotics season and the many ways you can get involved. Whether you have a few hours to volunteer, want to mentor a team, or work for a company looking for a meaningful way to invest in STEM education and Oregon’s future workforce, there is a place for you.

​Come learn how you can help inspire and support Oregon’s next generation of innovators, engineers, technologists, and problem-solvers.
