We are open source.

  • Purdue Hackers is very community-driven; the community is Purdue Hackers.
  • The line between community members & organizers is somewhat blurry πŸŒ«οΈβ€”many community members help with event logistics, engineering, etc.
  • Many of our workshops are run by community members!
