Like Paint & Sip,
but you build actual gadgets.

You've seen Paint and Sip. Same idea — except instead of a canvas, you leave with a working piece of technology you built with your own hands. All in the company of good people and good drinks.

Guided from Start to Finish

Every step is walked through by an instructor. You won't get lost, and you won't need a engineering degree.

🍺

At Your Favorite Bar

We host at local venues. Order your drink, find your seat, and get to work.

Take It Home

Everything you build is yours to keep. Real, working technology — not a participation trophy.
