The robots are coming! In a few days!! Step into the world of Wallieonline en Yvo de Haas and learn how they use robotics for learning tools, games and more.

Yvo de Haas is a maker that combines 3D printing, mechanics and electronics to make robotics projects, such as an automated board game, and a robotic te****le.
Wallieonline Mini robots based on an ESP32-C3 and the ESP-NOW protocol. “We use these mini robots to enthuse students about a technical education and a technical profession. By providing mini robot games at events in the region, we show how fun and versatile engineering can be. To control the robot, we use Espressif’s ESP-NOW wireless protocol. ESP-NOW is a solution for situations that require both fast response times and long range, while using the same frequency band as WiFi. The protocol is aimed at home automation and smart home, but so it also works as wireless control for a minirobot.”

We are super happy and grateful to be sponsored by so many great institutions, like KITT Engineering!
They had some very cool words to say about us and the tech/hacker community we would like to share with you (in Dutch)

Creativiteit en technologie gaan hand in hand, dat kunnen engineers en productontwikkelaars wel beamen. Om deze connectie te benadrukken wordt er op 28 en 29 september van dit jaar een uniek evenement georganiseerd. Hackfestnl is een evenement dat erop gericht is technologie en kennis voor iedereen toegankelijk te maken, terwijl het tegelijkertijd creativiteit en innovatie stimuleert. KITT Engineering is daarom een trotse sponsor van dit evenement!

Als gedreven engineers zijn we ons bij KITT Engineering bewust van de mogelijkheden die technologie ons biedt maar staan we, volgens ons terecht, kritisch tegenover de geclaimde maakbaarheid. Daarom is goed dat er ook vanuit andere perspectieven naar de impact van technologie wordt gekeken.

Bij het oplossen van problemen wordt regelmatig technologie ingezet, waarbij vaak de onderliggende oorzaak ondersneeuwt en de gevolgen veel groter kunnen zijn dan “het probleem”. Bij het HackFest komen groepen en personen bij elkaar die elk met een eigen perspectief naar technologie en de impact op de samenleving kijken. Dat is een belangrijke maatschappelijk verantwoorde activiteit, dus sponsort KITT Engineering het HackFest graag. De input van anderen is namelijk onmisbaar.

HackFest is sponsored by: KITT Engineering, Inverid - Creators of ReadID, HomeComputerMuseum, Tessatronic, Sickhouse, TkkrLab, Gogbot, Gemeente Enschede

If making your own instruments is like music to your ears: come check out all the amazing instruments hacks!

Printstruments designs and makes musical instruments through 3D printing. They are made from biodegradable PLA. PLA, or Poly Lactic Acid, is a bioplastic made from fermented plant starch, usually from corn, sugar cane or tapioca.You can hear for yourself why the feedback from the professional musicians is so amazing. Musicians are very surprised at the quality of sound and playability of the instruments!

Nerdy Gurdy combineert traditionele muziekinstrumenten zoals Hurdy Gurdy (draailier) en Nyckelharpa met high-tech ontwerp en productie. Ze hebben deze eeuwenoude instrumenten beschikbaar gemaakt voor duizenden nieuwe muzikanten over de hele wereld, door middel van lasercutting en 3d-printing.

If you’re more into synthesizers: we got you. Mitch Altman offers ongoing workshops to guide you into creating your own ArduTouch arduino synthesizer.

We present: The Demoscene! Hackers, makers and demosceners have similar subcultures: being creative with code, software and hardware. So let’s inspire each other during HackFest!
On Saturday the 28th you can learn everything about the demoscene in a talk by longtime demoscener Okkie, enjoy a TIC-80 bytejam live on screen and dance to a dj-set by KLANDOX!
Screenshot taken from a Lovebyte online bytejam, go check out their party and channel!

The demoscene is an international computer art subculture and UNESCO cultural heritage in The Netherlands since 2023. Mostly focused on creating self contained realtime artistic productions made with code on various hardware: old, odd, new and even virtual! Like the TIC-80, a fantasy console with accessible code for everyone who wants to create cool visuals and games. Want to join the byte jam? Send us a message!
