CARPE — Columbus Arduino & Raspberry Pi Enthusiasts

Meetings

We meet twice a month — typically the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays, though it shifts now and then with room availability. Our location moves around too, so check each meeting below for its date and venue before you head out. Meetup is our source of truth for dates and RSVPs.

What a meeting looks like
#

  • Show & tell — bring whatever you’re working on, finished or not. Half-built and gloriously broken is encouraged.
  • Talks & demos — short, informal presentations on whatever someone’s excited about. Want to give one? We’d love that.
  • Open hang-out — time to chat, troubleshoot, and meet other local makers.

June Meeting — Open forum & show your project

📍 Worthington Park Library — Olentangy Meeting Room · 1389 Worthington Centre Dr, Worthington, OH

Bring your Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or any other electronic project and join fellow makers for a night of creativity and collaboration. This session is open forum — share whatever you’re working on. Complete or in progress, it’s all interesting. Whether you’re deep into embedded systems, chasing a new idea, or just getting started, you’ll find a welcoming space to collaborate, share, and get inspired. New to electronics, or just curious about tinkering? You’re absolutely welcome. If you’re a beginner who wants to experiment, we’ll have a couple of starter kits on hand so you can try things out — blink your first LED, put something on a display, or play with a few simple sensors. No pressure, no experience required — just an interest in learning and building.

Get involved between meetings

Showing up is the main thing — but here's where to find us in between:

💬 Discord 📅 Meetup 🐙 GitHub

Want to give a talk or demo?

We love these, and they don't need to be polished — five minutes on a project you're proud of, something you just learned, or a problem you're stuck on. Mention it in Discord or grab an organizer at a meeting.

Members' projects

Got a project site or builds to show off? We feature members' project links on our Links page — just ask in Discord or share it at a meeting, and we'll add yours.
