fizzPOP is for people who like to tinker, whether that’s with electronics, code (maybe there’s some crossover with HydraHack there), motors, gaffer tape or whatever. It’s about trying things out and making things and is the nearest Birmingham has to a Hackerspace.

It’s been on a bit of a hiatus recently but there’s a get-together on Wednesday from 7pm in The Boardroom at Bennetts Wine Bar.

Thank soddery for that. It’d be one hell of a shame if Birmingham couldn’t support something like this, especially with all the talk of how well we do ‘digital’ here. Now can someone please offer them some permanent space?
