SUMMARY:Hard Hat Brigade\, Friday 10:00-18:00
DESCRIPTION:.. \n \n..\n\nHard Hat Brigade\n\nHard Hat Brigade (https://www
 .hardhat.rocks/)\n\nFriday and Saturday: 10:00 - 18:00\, Sunday 10:00 - 13
 :00\nLocation: West Hall 2\n\nEver see someone walking around DEF CON and 
 wonder “what is up with the hard hats?”\n\nThe Hard Hat Brigade brings
  hackers together in the spirit of endless curiosity and tinkering. We use
  a common platform (hats) to combine art (bling) and hacker functionality 
 (warez) to inspire others to explore outside of their comfort zones in a s
 afe and welcoming community.\n\nWe encourage everyone to explore their cre
 ativity using art\, electronics\, mechanical design\, or any other medium 
 that piques their interest. Hats are inexpensive\, widely available\, and 
 easy to modify to suit your needs. We started with hard hats but are not l
 imited to any type of hat\, so you have the freedom to choose whatever hat
  suits your fancy.\n\nDespite everyone using a common platform\, every cre
 ation is unique and embodies the personality of the creator. Walking aroun
 d DEF CON\, you can display your creation for all to see\, and many will s
 top to ask you about what you have created. This allows you to talk about 
 your experience\, as well as inspire others to explore new ideas of their 
 own.\n\nOne of the challenges at hacker summer camp has been finding peopl
 e to connect with. By leveraging hard hats as a canvas\, HHB has solved th
 is challenge with something that is incredibly accessible while also offer
 ing a ton of variety. Gazing upon these creations\, they reflect back the 
 uniqueness of all the awesome hackers that we’ve been able to meet. In y
 ears past\, we’ve had the opportunity to see how so many talented and cr
 eative hackers tackle the challenge of using the venerable hard hat as the
 ir muse. Just as fun\, charming and skilled as so many attendees are\, the
  hard hat has been a great vessel to carry their awesome projects.\n\nStop
  by our community space and make your trip memorable by trying on a hat\, 
 learning and sharing building techniques\, networking with other hat lovin
 g hackers\, and expressing yourself in your own hacker way. Keep on hackin
 g!\n\nMore Info: https://www.hardhat.rocks (https://www.hardhat.rocks/)\nX
