Hi Dushyant,

unfortunately we have to confess that we did not organize any kind of
such an event at our hackerspace yet.

However, we had a group of students from the University doing some
hardware hacking in our place earlier this year.

They met at our place to do some Arduino workshop for a couple of weeks
-- guided by two PhD students from the MPI (Max Planck Institute for
Informatics) at the UdS.

You might contact Simon Olberding
(https://embodied.mpi-inf.mpg.de/people/simon-olberding/), who led that
project, to get some advice.

Sorry that I cannot provide you with any specific hints and experience.

Nonetheless you are very welcome to visit us at our hackerspace
Saarbrücken to talk about Ideas. Mayhaps some of our guys could help
you, though.

Regards

Jochen Bauer
