Hardware Village (Day One)
Volunteers

Step away from the keyboard – it’s time to get hands-on. Whether you're a seasoned tinkerer or just curious about what’s inside your badge, the Hardware Village is your space to learn, hack, solder, and explore.

We’ll have soldering stations ready for badge mods and hardware experiments, plus friendly experts on hand to help with troubleshooting or inspiration. Bring your gear or just swing by to see what others are building and tinkering with.

There’s always something to learn, create, or break (safely, of course).

The Locksport village is your gateway into the fascinating world of physical security. Whether you're a total newcomer or a seasoned picker, there's something here for everyone.

Explore a wide variety of locks, pick tools, and hands-on challenges – all under the guidance of experienced instructors ready to share their tips and tricks. Learn how locks work, discover their vulnerabilities, and test your skills on locks ranging from beginner to expert difficulty.

This isn’t just a display – it’s a fully interactive experience. Step into the shoes of a lockpicker, challenge yourself, and maybe even surprise yourself with a hidden knack for tumblers and tension wrenches.

Come for the curiosity, stay for the challenge. You might just unlock a new obsession.
