Barcamp Helsinki IV at Nordkapp -recap

Nordkapp was proud to provide its office for the venue for BarCampHelsinkiIV. About 40 people stopped by during the day and there was about 15-20 people present all the time.

We had plenty of arduino boards and components to check out thanks to Aleksi, @sivulainen and robomaa.com. Actual hacking didn’t happen too much but at least we got the conversation going. Inspired by the event @sivulainen started the Arduino helsinki group in Facebook. If you’re intrested go ahead and join.

@hannesonlineinc made a video of the event. You can check it out here.

The event had 14 presentations in interesting and various topics such as “How to hold your breath” and “Model airplanes 2.0″.
