Hardware in the Heart of the Town: Oakland Tech Week

Hardware in the Heart of the Town is a celebration of creativity, innovation, and community at the intersection of tech, design, and accessibility. Hosted at MADE in Oakland, this interactive showcase brings together local makers, hardware innovators, and creative technologists for an afternoon of exhibits, demos, and conversation. Dive into hands-on experiences including the Refurbathon by Tech Exchange, where attendees explore the art of restoring and repurposing hardware, and the Minecraft Experience, a digital playground highlighting creativity, design, and world-building. The program features a talk by Shem on “Spaces for Playable Digital Collections: A Case Study” alongside live demonstrations, community networking, and interactive exhibits that highlight how hardware and imagination can power opportunity and connection across Oakland. Open to all ages and experience levels, Hardware in the Heart of the Town invites everyone to explore the future of technology — built right here in the Town.
