Makeroni Meeting Online
As HackWimbledon, we had 16 Saturday meetups online and we aren’t going to stop.
Makeroni meetups happen on video and audio on Discord every Saturday from 12 midday to 4pm.
You’re always welcome to chat at anytime in the Discord channels, but in these four hours we want the meeting to be more meetupy - face to face, talking about what we’re making, showing it, and helping each other make it better.
Makeroni Is Live
Now you may wonder what Makeroni is, so here’s some brief history. HackWimbledon, the popup makerspace in Wimbledon, operating out of Wimbletech, has been going for a six years or so when Covid-19 struck.
This made things hard - the group was all about meeting up in person. HackWimbledon adjourned to an online presence with the aim on maybe meeting up again when this thing was over. It’s now July, Covid-19 will be with us for quite a while and HackWimbledon had to evolve to meet the new challenge of how to be a community. And the first thing to do was to start closing down HackWimbledon and making a new online space, Makeroni.
