Exclusive headline sponsor for first ever Hackaday Unconference in Ireland

RS Components has announced that its DesignSpark community of over 650,000 engineers and makers is supporting the first ever Hackaday Unconference in Ireland as the exclusive headline sponsor. The event is targeted at hackers, designers and engineers, particularly members of the Hackaday community, an online blog that features hardware and software hacks. The agenda and topics at an unconference are generated by attendees at the event itself, which captures themes that are current in the hardware world. This latest event takes place at the Project Arts Centre in Dublin on Saturday 7 April. This is the second unconference to be held in Europe. “The unconference concept provides a fun environment that inspires innovation, spontaneity, collaboration and creativity, all for free. It is very fitting that we are giving our continued support to an event that has many parallels with the goals of our DesignSpark engineering and maker community,” said Mike Bray, vice p;resident of DesignSpark at RS.
