Geekup Blackpool

That's Olly, high on lots of sugar!

I started Geekup Blackpool in July 2010 as social event for the local tech community. In those six years the group has talked about many topics for example

• Android app development
• The challenges of teaching Python in schools
• Linux and open source software

More recently we have seen makers and hackers from across the North West..and beyond, take part in the social evening and bring along cool tech to play with.
