Every year, thousands of makers, engineers, hackers, creators, and inventors gather in San Mateo, California for Open Sauce—a one-of-a-kind celebration of creativity and building things.

We spent the weekend exploring incredible projects, meeting the people behind them, trying our hand at soldering, checking out Framework, Prusa, Arduino, and stumbling across everything from tiny phones to life-size droids.

If you’re into repair, engineering, electronics, 3D printing, robotics, or just love seeing creative people build amazing things, Open Sauce deserves a spot on your calendar.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by the iFixit booth—we loved meeting you!
