Chit-Chat and Crafts in Erlangen: Collaboratively tinkering, talking, and shaping the digital world

On Monday, November 2, 2026, the ZAM – Center for Exchange and Making in Erlangen will transform from 7 PM into an open meeting point for technology enthusiasts, tinkerers, hackers, and anyone who wants to collaboratively explore digital and societal issues.

Open round for curious minds

Chit-Chat and Crafts combines relaxed exchange with practical project work. The local Chaos Computer Club experience exchange Bits’n’Bugs invites participants to share experiences, ask questions, and further develop their own ideas. What matters is not the perfect presentation but the joy of learning and creating together.

Between hacker culture and creative workshop

Between digital projects, societal debates, and hands-on tinkering, an event experience is created that makes technology tangible. The format is aimed at experienced hackers as well as those who are stepping into an open maker and tech community for the first time.

Learning together and advancing projects

The focus is on knowledge exchange, joint tinkering, and the development of individual projects. The regular organization as an open meeting demonstrates how modern event planning, low-threshold target group communication, and communal event management work together. Newcomers are explicitly welcome and do not need any previous knowledge.

An evening with a relaxed audience atmosphere

The main building of ZAM provides the right setting for conversations, ideas, and shared experimentation. The open round creates space for digital maturity, free technology, creative problem-solving, and new contacts in Erlangen. Those curious about the local Bits’n’Bugs community will find an uncomplicated entry point here.
